Craigslist Is Always Slow When Searching Or Looking At Any Posts.

I gave up using CL months ago and then came back trying to use CL this week and I am have the same problem. The problem is everytime I go to CL to search for anything to buy or searching for free ads they always appear 45 min to 1 hour later. I only see ads that are posted 45 min to 1 hour later. I will stay on CL and refresh and then once I see a new post I will click it and it will always say posted 45 min. to 1 hr or longer. I do not think it is my internet connection as I have the fastest connection and dont think that has anything to do with it. I am asking for help due to tired of responding to ads and everytime gone. Maybe I would have an actual chance if I could see ads in 5 min. 10 min. thank you in advance.

I sympathize with your concern but if you examine it logically you'll see that there are only 2 possibilities:

Either Craigslist is slow for everyone, in which case you're at no disadvantage, or
It's slow particularly for you, in which case there's a problem with your system or your connection.

If the latter, you might check with your ISP. Or you might 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. ;
