THis is driving me up the wall.
I try and place my advert and when it comes to login it just wont let me.
Originally I tried from home and it was concluded that it would not work with IE10.
So knowing my work one was IE9 I decided to do it from work which this week has fking well updated its fking self to IE10.

So when are you going to fix this because I suspect an awful lot of people's computers upgraded themselves this week!

Incidentally, and some genuine feedback rather than just a whinge:
Up until two weeks ago PH had elevated itself in my head as THE place to sell a car, over and above autotrader and any other method.
By the time I have gone through all the typing out an advert and creating a by-account for it to simply not work I was pretty annoyed.
2 weeks later and it still isn't fixed so I've wasted 2 lots of going through this rigmarole, PH Classifieds have sunk in my estimation from the best, to far too much hassle and only worth it if you have a lot of free time to waste.
It really is the ease of use that makes the classifieds so good, and that has now been completely ruined in my eyes due to inaction

Won't let me upload photos in Firefox.
Christ your system is fking annoying!!!!!

Perhaps have a note at the beginning of the classifieds saying "Advertise your car here, but only if you have windows xp and internet explorer version 8.3.6.2.6 and a Hewlett Packard computer.

I've installed a Microsoft Hotfix across our servers. You should be able to log in now on IE10.

Who'd have thought Microsoft's software wouldn't work with a Microsoft browser? boxedin

Could you elaborate? As I would assume creating an account and writing a description would be integral steps in placing an ad on a website.

We're actually more partial to Google Chrome, to be fair.

The point was more that you have to create an account / login AFTER you have typed out all your advert hence by the time you know that it won't let you login then you have done it all and wasted all that time.
At least if you tried first and it didn't work...oh, Im boring even myself now.

We save the ad when we prompt you to log in or register and then take you back to your ad after you've done that.

I don't see where there's time wasted.

We save the ad, then you'll notice in the URL of the logon page there's a parameter called return URL. That has an advert ID we use to take you back to the ad you started on after you log in or register.
