Delay posting classified?
« on: August 21, 2016, 01:08:08 PM »
Aloha all,

I attempted to post a classified ad, complete with pictures, earlier this morning. So far, it hasn't appeared. I tried resubmitting the same ad, and got admonished "You already submitted this post. Shame on you!" (I'm paraphrasing).

Is there a delay or approval involved in posting classifieds?

Mahalo,
TOm G

There should not be a delay, there is no approval necessary for the classifieds.

Logged out, cleared cookies, reset password, logged back in, same result.

After I click POST, I get sent to an empty web page:

After multiple failures using Firefox, I switched to Chrome. Still more failure.

There's a pulldown list at the top for your subject's prefix.  Did you select one?  I think it's mandatory.

Seems to be working for me Tom.  Dunno.  I'll try to contact 2A about it.

Can you try posting without the pics first? I'm not seeing any errors in the logs but I'm also not seeing your post.

Were your pictures less than the maximum allowable size and in an acceptable format?

Try putting pics on a hosting Web site like photobucket. And then add them to your post

Well, there weren't any warnings given, and I used the same camera and same technique I've used successfully in the past. That being said, I have no idea what the maximum allowable size and acceptable formats are. These are all JPEG images in the 4-6 MB range.

Sorry for the troubles. You can try and edit the post and upload the pictures afterwards, or if you send them to me, I can add them to your post

Trying to add the pictures has the same result; I get redirected to a page that never loads, and the post goes unmodified. I'll try email them to you.
THanks!!


Nevermind. After about 5 minutes, the first picture popped up. I tried to add the next two, and after about 5 more minutes, the 2nd one popped up. SO I added the third, and again, it popped up, this time fairly quickly.
