Craigslist is not now shut down. If you're having problems, try the following:

First clear your cache and cookies. How you do that depends on your browser. In Firefox, use its toolbar to go to Tools|Options|Privacy, and then click "clear your recent history." See your own browser's help section if you don't know how. Then restart your computer. It also may be necessary to update your browser; 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

UPDATE: It now appears the problem is indeed with Craigslist, judging by the many complaints. Many Craigslists are not affected but many others are. Keep trying,.
