For future reference which words were causing the problem, it might help somebody else, or is it a big secret.

As an aside is it possible to do a sticky with words or phrases that cannot be used, it could help over the weekends.

"we also don't reveal that list of words and phrases because that would only help guide those scammers"

That will teach me to read the posts properly before opening my big mouth.

It's obvious really if I had thought about it a bit more smile

A bit like the regular occurring request to TVR owners to reveal the secret method of opening the boot.

All I can say is that the lethal ad-killing word was a surprising one, and nothing to do with any swearwords.

There is a curious stage in the process of placing an ad with PH, namely that after you get the message that it's been approved, you get an e-mail saying you have to go and make it live, but it already is spin

The amount of mankind's time that is wasted battling with internet conundra placed there by other humans is quite remarkable. I've already told the hire-boat company that I really do not need to 'log in' and 'manage' my booking banghead

I'm currently having the same issue trying to post an ad from my phone using Chrome. All that happens after I upload a few photos is Chrome locks up. Hasn't happened with any other site or app, just when trying to upload photos to PH. It's got to the point where I had to start again yet now it'll just lock up when I click"add photos".

Shame as I need to sell this car ASAP. I have it on other places but prefer PH.
