Cannot remove my phone number from advert

[Trev16v]

I have just placed an advert in the Classifieds section and I find that no matter what boxes I try to tick beforehand, my telephone number is always visible in the advert.

The phone number is always in the advert regardless of whether "By Phone" is ticked or not.

If I tick "Use PH PhoneSafe", my own phone number remains visible, and when the advert edit screen refreshes I see that the "Use PH PhoneSafe" box has become unticked and the "By Phone" box is now ticked.

Any ideas please? I really don't want my number on t'interweb, and I might just have to put a fake number in my personal details until this can be resolved.

While I am at it, another issue I found was this. I initially put far too much text into my advert description, and each time I attempted to submit it, I got an error message that said "something's not quite right" or similar. It took me a long time and much trial and error to realise that my long description was causing this. It would be handy to have an error message that tells you that you've exceeded X number of allowed characters.

Thanks,

Trev
