Deleted Account

I have had the same account for years on craigslist. I went to log on to look at an older post and it said that the account email was invalid and I needed to create one. I need the one I had with all my old postings on it! Why would it have been deleted? How can I reactivate it? If I start a new one with the same email it won't have all my older postings. Please help, no one on craigslist support does.

My best guess is that your account was closed in error. I know of no way to retrieve it. Sorry. (From what you say, you've received essentially the same information from Craigslist.)
