Unable To Post New Or Repost Old Ads

My account is cursed or there is a software glitch that no one is complaining about but me. As of TODAY (June 5), I can't seem to post NEW or REPOST my craigslist ads. RENEW is fine. I tried to repost 2 ads today - 1 for Ladies' jackets and 1 for a Horse ornament. No matter what I do, it doesn't get indexed and then shows as deleted/flagged within about 15 min to 30 min. Sometimes within 30 seconds. I've tried: * Simple ad - no fancy characters and no photo (Including simple ad typed from scratch) * Reposting old ad to test out (just from last month or even a year back) I have had this account since 2005 so I'm not a novice but this is really sad and bizarre.

Thank you for the heads up. However, this Help Owl submission will not effectively alert folks, as very few persons read the questions. A better route might be this Craigslist form.

Since as you say no one seems to be bothered by this problem except you, the issue may stem from an outdated browser or overloaded cache. A good first step is to clear your cache and cookies—see your browser's help section if you don't know how—and restart your computer. Links for updating various browsers may be found on this Facebook page (even though it's not a Facebook issue): http://www.facebook.com/help.php?page=742
