I Can Not Click On Contact Button On Craigslist Ads.

Craigslist will not let me click on contact ...on ads in craigslist. Also, I can not post listings on craigslist...even though confirmation email shows posted when searched its not there. This has been happening for several months plus no responses to my listings. GS at its best...suspect anyway.

1. The reply button won't work unless the advertiser chose to use Craigslist's anonymize function. Look for contact information in the ad. If it's not there, no one can reply.

2. You get no responses and can't find your ad because Craigslist has either never posted it or removed it. Craigslist states:

Posts may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, CL staff, or community moderation -- for non-compliance with terms of use, site guidelines, and/or community norms.

It's not possible from the information you've provided to discern the source of the problem. And it might not be possible under any circumstances; Craigslist's determinations often seem arbitrary. You may be able to solve the issue with the use of a Web proxy, as offered free at http://www.zend2.com/. Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has additional suggestions here.
