Revising zip code searches, use big pop-up no one can miss to inform users of missing homes

Until you can fix the site to ensure a zip code pulls up &lists in order all homes for sale in that zip range, your system should have a big/bold pop up reminding potential buyers &sellers that  they have to drag along the map to see all homes listed in that range. However, the system works slowly while doing this and users can easily miss where your home is situated So this pop up should also inform users if they want  a complete listing of homes to search under the town name.  For my home in particular, every zip search &drag i do is lengthy as far as locating my listing (i do this periodically to see how easy or not it is for potential buyers to find my home). the only quick way i get my home up when the right search perameters are populated is to search under my town, state.

I just received the email regarding 'showcase homes' and selecting the percentage of times you want your home to be showcased when a zip code is searched.  this must mean zip searches, not just town searches connected to zips, are common enough.  because of this your team should try to find a way to display more clearly all homes in a largely populated zip code. thanks

ZIP code doesn't pull my home up

 http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/38854704_zpid

hi- i can not pull my home off zillow search via the zip code only. i select 08822 in the group but my for sale listing is omitted. i can pull my home up by searching under the town name. is there something i need to do on the home facts portion, i check previously as this has been an ongoing problem, and everything seem to be accurately populated/ please let me know.

Home periodically disappears from zip code search

Todaye, once again, my home as well as many others, does not come up under 08822 zip code search, tried with no parameters checked off and tried with my specific parameters. My home just disappeared. Again only time I can find my listing, 14 orchard drive flemington nj is to insert the exact address meaning anyone searching my zip or town range is not seeing my property. Why does this continually happen?  This bug should be fixed, it's not user error.

no responses to questions

i have submitted numerous questions due to various bugs on this site this last week and have not once received a response. i note various inquiries by others, hours, days minutes after mine are addressed- usually simple questions or when someone threatening to fine zillow. why are so many inquiries deemed inconsequential and ignored? if i take the time to fill out the surveys i would expect to get basic replies to your system bugs specifically the one i asked about earlier where i intended to pay money to zillow when posting an ad. i input manually lists of zip codes, which zillow suggests the more the better, and after all that the system said it ran into an error.  this happened 2xs. 14 orchard drive flemington nj 08822.

Creating Advertizing Specifics Fails Each Time

have 2xs spent lengthy time trying to create & buy an add. once i add the extensive zip ranges, MANUALLY, rather then having a drop down alphabetical window say for NJ zips allowing me to select... i click to proceed and the system say 'sorry we encountered a problem' and loses the 50+ zip codes i've just added. if there is a limit on the # of zips you can select a- this should be indicated b- this really limits the effectiveness of the add. please advise.

Each time I select a page on my listing it reflects 2 hits.

Can you fix this. Each time I view, whether from main page or with the site, I get 2 for 1 hit.

inflated hit #s and home not visible against zip search

14 orchard drive flemington nj 08822. i have submitted numerous inquiries the last 2 days. can't find my listing under zip search though i am using system same as i have for months. also, when viewing the listing, if i move from overview to photo, it will reflect sometimes 2 or more hits creating inflated #s. as for viewing against zip code, it previously fell under days on zillow order, now is missing, i check/edit my search criteria and can only find the listing if inserting the actual street address? could you help fix this?

decifer between actual listing hits vs user views/updates

when checking listing sometimes multiple times daily to see if there is any activety or when revising/adding pictures, i am adding extra hits to the listing and it is very hard to keep track. would be nice if user's email associated with the hits could be recognized and the hits not included.
