In light of all the changes that have been made since the poll was first introduced, it might be an idea to start a new one and see if there is much change. People voting on this poll today, would be having a different experience to when it first came to light.
1) I'd love to see search become more complex again, searching by height, bust size, eye colour/hair. Not limited to searching one county e.g bring back "all locations"
2) Reviewing an escorts profile, i see only their tour in their current city. e.g if today is their last day in dublin. i see that as their tour/available dates. BUT, looking at "coming soon" I see the same escort will advertise tomorrow in dublin, but this does not show on her profile. It shows only the current active tour. This means that if an escort had 3-4 cities planned over the course of a month and paid for, booked in her tours, looking at her profile, noone would know this. you would only find out when her profile was active in that city on those dates. As a client, you might want to review a profile, see that in 10 days she will arrive in your city and pm for a booking, but that is not possible as that information is not available anywhere now.
e.g Alyssa jenkins often tours ireland, spending a few days in each city of her choice at a time. under the current profile information, it would dispaly only the single city she is currently visiting. and none of the other planned dates and destinations, until she arrives in them one by one.
Clients lose out as they cannot plan ahead knowing dates of their favorite escorts tour schedule. and i am sure escorts are losing clients or less busy due to it with clients having less information readily available.
I do see a lot of changes in recent days, Dev and IE staff are doing a great job.
And perhaps the poll might be different now, i think a lot more might vote for "i'll wait and see". But it doesnt negate the obvious and continued current condidtion of the site to its previous smooth, easier to undersand and working format. many issue are left unresolved and untracked on the official dev updates communication.
I can only imagine how traffic has been affected on the site. How many people logged in before vs the new site design. excluding the issues posts, have posts in general increased or decreased. have the number of escorts advertising dropped. has the number of reviews dropped, given clients found it harder in the new system to get to grips with. and finally, have the number of page accesses increased, given that search is not up to the standard it used to be, i know i myself have had to open a lot more profiles for review than i used to, spent more time manually reviewing profiles than i used to, and given up for that matter.
all these i believe are important questions which have to be asked. they are indications of the success or failure of the new design, as they indicate how the community are using the site by comparison. if number are not the same, whats different, what are people doing more and why. and if less, again why?
a design well implemented should always seek to reduce the pages a community searched through, clicks through, but everything must be taken in context. just because its less, doesnt mean its good if it just less users doing it.

I agree with you on your second point. I had at least one client call me while I was touring Yesterday who wanted to see me, but it was too late. He said he only just found me and was really, really pissed off and said it was the 'bloody site's' fault lol. It was handy to have a list of tour locations, as you might also find yourself traveling to see a lady who was going to be closer to you on her next move and you never knew.

I think if you click on "Diary" you will see a week at least.

Related to this problem, on the old site there was a list of “latest changes”.
This showed escorts who were “back” had “updated rates” or “changed profile”.
I know this was used by some escorts as extra advertising and one particular escort manipulated her profile so that so was always on it.
I did like it, however. I could see from it escorts that were coming close to a location I was either working in, living in, or a location I could easily travel.

The sites are almost unusable on iphone,
The old site worked very well,
Why was it nessessary to change it,

True, but I think it would be good if it was easy for escorts to give information further into the future - even a month. There are a couple who tour only occasionally close to me who are on my "wish list", and sometimes I have found out about their plans too late to catch them.

I agree. But in fairness few plan that far ahead or even more to the point book their tour with the website that far ahead.
