| Craigslist ad posting problem..
i tried posting my car up for sale on craigslist today... Everything went well such as entering the phone number --> getting verification code, entering the code, PUBLISHED --> and my very own ad that i can even LINK it to other people etc etc.
However, heres the problem.. if i tried to search my car on the search box, my ad won't show up...
The sad thing is, its not the first time that its been doing this, month or two ago, when my car was modified, and i tried selling as a whole it did the same thing..
I thought maybe something from my IP adress is blocked or my firewall etc, so got my friend to post the ad for me from HIS computer, and the result? same thing.. it wont show up...
I used about 7 html pics in my ad... perhaps that may be the cause? i even tried to post WITHOUT using ANY html pics, but simply just using the CL attach image function and it STILL doesnt work... starting to get a little annoying 
help would be greatly appreciated  |

I've had the same problem previously when trying to post on CL. My post just delayed before being available for search. Maybe wait?
Perhaps someone else knows more about this thought.

I deleted that ad on purpose because it wouldnt let me remake.. (remake only because it wasnt showing on the listings.. not to overpost)
its working now though.. i used my brothers email adress and his computer and his cell phone.. and its now working.. however i didnt attach ANY html pics, didnt use any keywords.. and made it really simple..
now.. i wonder, what if i edit the post and try to attach in the html pics?.

it happened to me too, even when i posted when i was selling my exhaust. Don't worry about it though, its actually there. I kept getting emails about it so that proved although i couldn't see it when it said i should, it was obviously still there

I tried searching it manually on CL but no luck. Perhaps wait a bit. This has happened to me and I was never able to search my ad a while back

I'm sure it is just the time delay thing acting up again.
I had a post there recently too and couldn't find it till the next day.
