Gumtree search issue - anybody else having the same problems

I use Gumtree quite a bit but in the last few days it seems impossible to browse a category limited just to my county?
I am logged in and when I go to the Gumtree home page in either Google chrome (my normal choice) or Microsoft Edge it remembers my county and shows listings in all categories limited to the county.
However as soon as I choose one of the categories, the county disappears and it shows listings from the whole of the UK! Putting the county in again to try and refine the search doesn't work.
This all worked fine until a couple of days ago!
I've tried logging out and back in again etc!
Any ideas?
Thanks.

This problem continues so I contacted Gumtree today.
To my surprise they replied within an hour to say they are aware of the problem and it is being "urgently investigated". They also suggest a temporary work around which does seem to work.
So, good marks for customer service at least!1
