I think the faffing about with the site has definitely affected AW; I've had two days in a row without a single successful booking from it and the enquiries from there have gone from generally crap and clueless to downright pitiful.
I'm being as patient as I can be and I know if they haven't the sense to use the main site they're going to be struggling to find the information on the page because it's now well hidden, but it's not like it's not all there if they look.
