Does anyone use this for bookings originating in Singapore?

I have been having heaps of trouble (yes on more than 1 machine) trying to price out the itinerary I want.

- The start again feature does not work for the form option and I need to close the tab/window and start again
- When scheduling domestic flights it always displays from the beginning of the day and displays a limit of 13 flights (so for something like SIN-SYD and then SYD-BNE on the same is OK but if I want a stopover in BNE and then choose BNE-SYD a couple of months later only the morning flights are displayed and if I need to get to SYD late then look for something like BNE-CBR-SYD).

Luckily I have been able to find workarounds.

Sometimes it is amazing to see how flaky some of the software that is released on most websites. Do they forget user testing part before installation?
 
Am I the only one to AFF to use this feature from SIN website? Possibly.

Anyway it would appear that most bugs have been ironed out as I was using the multi-city tool quite a lot over the last couple of weeks. Is someone from Qantas listening?

And I was able to also get what I believe was a great airfare for my return from SIN in October and going back again in March. I got SIN-MEL-BNE and then SYD-MEL-PER-SIN (overnight in PER) for SGD1026 which is ~AUD870 at time of booking and also 95 SCs as a bonus. Managed to snag 80A on the A380 SIN-MEL and also got 23J on A330 PER-SIN which should also get me into SIN with enough time to get to BKK that night.

Yes I've been playing around with the multi-city ex-SIN booking engine lately, and encountered the same problem that you mention below where only the first 13 or so flights showed (eg. all in the AM on busier routes). Ended up booking a straight forward SIN-SYD-SIN return, though as like your booking, for a bit more $$ one could have added a few more sectors eg. SIN-PER-SYD-MEL-PER-SIN ... or was tempted at SIN-PER-SYD-AKL-SYD-SIN for around SGD$1200.
