Problem Submitting Ad

[glenn911C4S]

I have been trying to submit an ad in the classifieds for 24hrs, keep getting the message that there is a problem and that the techs have been advised, whats up?

This is caused by £ signs and a couple of other special characters breaking the system. We are working on it at the moment and will have a solution in place this morning, but in the mean time if you remove any pound signs from your description then it should go on ok.

Ok I've removed all of the pound signs, brackets hyphens etc........ still not accepting the ad.................................

I'll just wait awhile.


Maybe in an hour or two.



Yep, that's what I'm goin to do, I can feel my blood pressure coming down, thought there was something wrong with my computer.

The other symbols that are causing problems are fancy speech marks and apostrophies. These appear if you copy and paste your advert from Word. Word replaces the standard ones (", " or ')
with slanted versions (“, ” or ’), so you will need to delete these and type them in again.

i typed it in notepad and still have problems

This is now fixed, though you will have to edit and save your advert again before the fix will take place.

Let us know if you are still having problems after this.
