I haven't been able to report adverts in that way previously but I've just reported a Kia Carens ( http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3038942.htm ) for being in the wrong category, successfully. confused Why would you put that in the Rio section and not other models anyway?

I couldn't quote Pints by the way. It came up with the something's not quite right (...) message.

Why do some people not put a space between 'a' and 'lot' such as in that advert quoted.

And people putting cars there for exposure is tiresome and wrong.

It is, just like the misleading ads that have a price of £1 or £99,999 or 100 miles instead of 100,000

Strange. I just reported it myself just fine... Do you remember what option you chose from the drop down and what you wrote in the message?

Selected "Advert in the wrong category"
Typed "Not a shed"

Also tried it several times and from different post links.

For the same reason some people write "Nazi's" meaning the plural of Nazi or "there" as a short version of "they are"...

Stupidity? Ignorance? Laziness?

Probably the latter two - you'll have to ask them and hope you get a coherent reply.

Hi all, we've had a look through the section and moved all plus £1000 cars to their respective sections, if you see anything we've missed, click the "report to admin" button, and it should get moved. If not, you can email adverts@pistonheads.com - quoting the advert reference number. Same applies to adverts marked £999,999,000 to zero. Any help with this is appreciated. smile
