Can't Reply On Craigslist Ads

The reply button won't work unless the advertiser chose to use Craigslist's anonymizefunction. Look for contact information in the ad.

Otherwise, consider these suggestions by Craigslist:

• Check the add-ons that are installed on your Internet browser. (An add-on is a browser extension, or a piece of software, that modifies the browsing experience.) You can view your browser's add-ons by navigating to the Tools or Preferences menu and clicking on Add-ons. You can disable any unfamiliar add-ons one by one until the button works.
  
  
• Check to see if you are navigating the web using 'Private Browsing'. This setting can be found in the Preferences menu of your Internet browser. Unchecking this and re-starting your web browser may resolve the issue.
