Thread: Ad posting how to?

I've tried posting an ad numerous times & don't seem to have what it takes. Step 1 of for sale - okay
Step 2 select a category - the drop-down displays a blank field, approx 2 characters wide, and the process stops. Hitting submit keeps you on that page with nowhere to go.

It also seems to have multiple conditions under which you're prompted to log in - even though I'd already logged in.

Has anyone else run across this? 'Need to thin the herd to pay for recent indiscretions 'Loving the new wacker indiscretions.

There are requirements before you can post an ad. You have to have 100 posts and to have been here for a certain period of time. It's in the forum rules somewhere.

1. Members wishing to post a 'For Sale' (FS) or 'For Trade' (WTT) ad must have a minimum of three (3) months of membership and no less than 100 posts or six (6) months of membership and no fewer than 50 posts. Exceptions to this rule may be made by the senior moderator team.

Is that to keep spammers out of the classifieds or a period used to eval new members

I appreciate help. Once again, I'm learning. That probably won't stop any time soon.

Both, really. It prevents drive-by sellers-- people who would come here just to make a quick buck without ever being part of the community.

this was helpful to me as well. thanks

Think of it as a right of passage...

SRP is definitely more of a brotherly atmosphere. So being able to do certain things should require a bit of a breaking in phase.

Funny enough, if you love shaving, and enjoy the "art" it won't take long before you're chatting it up all over the forums. There's just too much too learn!

I had this same problem and couldn't figure out why until I came here to this section. If I may be so bold as to suggest, you might try updating the wiki pages to make this information easier to find. When I click on FAQ and read down the list, not one of the questions covers "Why can't I post an Ad?" or similar. It seems a common enough question here to warrant greater exposure. It may be possible to find it, but even while I was actively searching for this information I did not uncover what has been posted above.

I'm a devout learning junkie, and str8 shaving & caring for their edges is just red meat for that AD.
