Craigslist having ‘verification word’ issues 3

Posted by admin on March 14, 2008

Hello All - Starting somewhere midnight EST 3/13/08, CL seem to have issues with verification word. The one they use to verify its humans thats posting.

We have been following the forums and etc. Few folks noticed that if you confirm image within 30 sec range, you do not experience the problem.

I have tried it myself and it seem to work. So try yourself and report any success.

There are lot of interesting stuff going on there. Seems like CL is putting together yet another mechanism to block folks who might be posting with software, posting from far away lands etc.

CL helpdesk is also seeking information on what operating system and browser versions are in use by people who are experiencing this issue. So definitely something is cooking and we will report back with full details. Stay Tuned

    I’m not having this particular problem, but what I’d like to know is, why isn’t CL publishing my website? They do everyone else’s. I posted an ad, went back to edit because I forgot my website, got a confirming email back showing the change made, but it’s not in the ad. This was 45 minutes ago, still nothing. I tried 3 more times, and still nothing. Why? Is this something new? I’ve been able to put in a website before, many times over many years. New rules or something?
