Stop surfing HN and get that website working so I can spend my money on you guys! If someone in Vancouver, BC is seeing this, any help with accommodation for 2 is appreciated (Jul 2nd - 4th)!

Seriously, I'm using the site for the first time. While I was impressed, it could use a lot of improvement:

Switching from List to Map based search was not intuitive at first. The buttons are way over to the right.

There is some script that brings the site to a crawl whenever I look at listings on a map (Firefox and IE).

When I hit 'back' (not the browser's back button) after I look at a listing, my view of the map is gone. I've to zoom in on the area of interest again.

I was entering my credit card info. The auto fill came up with my name. I selected it (down arrow, then enter). Boom it just submitted my information and came back with nasty error messages about me not filling up fields. I think it should've just selected my name and maybe moved on to the next field.

I made my reservation and had a few e-mail exchanges with the landlord all very pleasant around 10:00PM MST. About 14 hours later, I get a barrage of text messages when I am in a meeting at work. They were the same emails sent to me as text messages 14 hours later! Why?

I've to plan the rest of my trip. Your website is down :). Go fix it!
