General Information
Why didn't my post show up?
Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload the page in your browser and it should then appear.
How do I change a classified ad I posted?
You can't. You will need to remove the advertisement and repost it.
How do I delete a classified ad I posted?
Once you have logged into the classified system, go the the "My Ads" link and review
the ads you currently have posted, select the ad you wish to delete and select delete.
How do I relist a classified ad that has expired?
Once you have logged into the classified system, go the the "My Ads" link, review

How long will my ad stay up?
When you post your ad you are give the option of setting the ad's expiration date either 2 days, 7 days, 15 days, or 30 days
Why am I not notified that my ads are going to expire?
This function is not offered with our free classified services. You will need to purchase an enhanced classified account in order to receive notification of your ads expiring. If you have purchased an enhanced classified account, then you must
make sure that you have a valid email address set in your profile.
Why do messages from the contact form not get through to me?
You have mispelled your email address, or your ISP is not allowing you to accept mail from
our servers.
It is amazing how may people add 'www.' to the beginning of their email address, or use
commas (,) instead of periods, or just flat out mis-spell their email address. Check and double check the spelling of your email address
when submitting a classified. Some overzelous/misguided ISPs may view email from our contact forms as spam and will
block these messages.

Perhaps the most commonly seen problem is that of multiple posting. Generally this occurs because people
post, then use the BACK button of their browser to view the index page. When this happens
your web browser(Netscape or Internet Explorer) loads the page NOT from the website, but from the CACHE
the browser sets up on your local hard drive. This was the page you originally viewed and NOT the page that
exists on the website. Hit the RELOAD button on your browser. The page may or may not show the updated version with your post at the top. If it doesn't you must "flush" the browser's cache manually. Please consult the browsers HELP file for instructions.
In order to place an image(s) in your post, the image may be uploaded from your computer, or linked to an image that already exists on the web.
You may upload any .gif or .jpg, less than 150kb directly to your ad.
Once you click on the browse button, you will get an explorer window, locate the file you want on to place on your ad and click Open.

HTML
No. You can NOT use HTML tags in any field except body of the message.

You cannot change the posts background color.
At the end of each line the script automatically adds a line break tag
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language with hyper text referring to its ability to "associate" or "link" one document to another. HTML as originally designed was meant to be the great
leveling language that allowed a variety of different types of computers to view the same documents in roughly the same format and layout. This is what made the World Wide Web work. Until the development of HTML both use of, and access to, the internet was limited.
It would be silly for us to offer even a basic .html primer here, when so many sites are devoted to it. Below is a list of good .html resources that gives you a variety of places to find answers.
We hope this helps to answer your questions. We will be adding to our support page as new questions are asked.
