Trying to sell my car on PH but it won't let me

[Simpo Two]

I'm trying to sell my car on PH Classifieds, but as soon as I put any text in the Description box it says:

'Please do not use html code, email addresses (including @), swear words, or web page links'

But there are none of these in my description. Can you assist please? I use Win 10 and Firefox, if that's relevant.

Nope. I've read the description carefully and even tried deleting it chunk by chunk, but the ruddy box won't accept anything.

Web-bods, if you know how I can get round this please advise as I want to get this listed asap. Or can I send one of you the details so you can post it for me?

[Simpo Two]

That's a good point, I'm copying it from a draft e-mail.

I'll try another way, that might do it. Ta!

[Simpo Two]

Tried that, still not working, same problem as before.

Are there any PH web boffs who actually make the website in?

[Simpo Two]

Gone with Autotrader. As said it's much better known than PH; the only advantage of the latter being I can advertise free (well that was theory!)

Thanks all for you input. A pity nobody from PH Towers turned up.

Indeed, I forgot about office jobs and packing up up at 5pm.

But I wanted to get the car listed this weekend to get viewings this weekend. Ah well.

Thanks guys, I'm happy with Autotrader.

Another reason I assumed somebody would be able to jump on it quickly is because mods operate 24/7/365, and that is dabbling with the PH website, so I thought others might be around to dabble, tweak code or otherwise find a solution on the same basis. And PH Classifieds make money, modding doesn't.

Car is online, case closed

If you PM me the text of your ad I'm happy to tell you what's causing the issue.

Aha

It will be with you shortly. Thanks for the info.

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

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
