OT craigslist

[BhB]

When I click on reply, on craigslist, to get information nothing happens. I looked on craigslist I can't find any information or anyway to contact them. Has anyone had this problem or shed some on how to correct this?

Yep I've seen that before. You just have to move on to the next item of interest. I think it's the way they list their item possibly.

If you are saying a new page opems but there's no info on it the poster failed to complete the post. If the reply button refuse's to open a new page go to CL help desk.

The seller chooses how he wishes to be contacted, phone, published email or through CL email relay. If he clicks the wrong combination of boxes what you are experiancing happens as I have done it myself. It is also possible that your browser is blocking the reply from CL. Check settings or load a different one clean and try it.

Occasionally, depending on your internet provider, your own craigslist usage habits, and just plain old dumb luck, Craigslist will pop up a "captcha" window with a simple puzzle (usually just a checkbox) that you must solve before it will display the contact information.

This is to protect advertisers from "bots" scanning through ads collecting phone numbers and email addresses.

It's a javascript thing, and if you have javascript blocked or disabled, nothing will happen.

There is a peer-to-peer help desk forum if you go under "about craigslist" on the craigslist home page and select "help desk." Craigslist does not offer any direct technical support, as they run a FREE website.

One more thing to keep in mind is that errors occur, systems have issues. Sometimes just waiting until the next morning and trying again is the best course of action.
