Some of our customers have reported to us strange behaviors in the Advanced Stats tool of their listing. We have investigated the problem and are actually working on it.

Why did this happen?

Since the beginning of last week, we’ve been working on the implementation of a new dedicated stats server. We’ve had to change a lot of the pages and scripts of the website to do so, which caused the problem you might be experiencing.

We are working hard today to try to get the situation back to the normal as fast as possible. I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to get to a result you’ll judge satisfying, and that you’ll understand that we are doing those moves in order to be able to provide you with the best tools around.

Thanks a lot for your understanding,

A small change was made today to the search results.

The “Order By” default value, which was set to “new listings first” since a couple of months have been rolled back to “less expensive first”.

Note that you can change this setting via a drop-down menu located on top of your search results.

A new tool has been made available to our customers advertising a cottage or tourism property for rent. They are now able to enter a detailed price list in their listing. This option is available into Your account, under the modify your listing link. Once completed, the price list will appear in the listing under the Description box.

You’ll also notice the addition of a line called CITQ Classification. This information tells you about the classification granted to this tourism establishment by the Corporation de l’industrie touristique du Québec. To display this information in your listing, visit the section Modify my description in Your account.
