Posting a classified is getting absurd

I know for a fact the 10 images totaled up to far beyond 1 meg.....probably close to 2.....

I can easily check again using larger images.....will do so.

I meant that I couldn't "now" see that post WHILE REPLYING.  The reference was to a post besides the quoted one.

Yes your previous entry says 95k to 300k,  I thought it was 30 to 300. I'll see at how some 100K +- look in an ad.

WOW Herb, thanks!

Looks good to me.....entered a test ad all the way to just short of the final save....

Copy paste working, large files working, no spaces between lines in the ad....with IE11, Pale Moon and Chrome.

Hopefully it will work for Neil as well

Thanks!

Ok, I'm impressed by the work. I'm the one behind, busy running land solo here, busy with local sales on larger 'no ship' items, I will get this tried.
Now I'm motivated. Kind of anxious actually.  If this stuff works and AM stays this 'on it' with issues,  then it's going to be a much more pleasurable place to go.

Two ads.

Celestron Silver tops, ad 436454.
It all worked great here. I did a copy/paste for the body, some editing, easy on the pictures.

Big Shroud, ad 436457.
The text was great, all issues mentioned were OK.
I pushed the pictures on this one, still modest for this product to make sure it was well understood. I used 5 pictures: 3 at 500Kb, 1 at 600Kb, and 1 at 700Kb, all rounded UP in size. A little scary still but I got it with some effort.  The first run danced around with loading and finally froze the ad again. I had to exit IE. When I went back to AM, the ad was still in my personal classifieds listing in unconfirmed mode, with 3 of the five pictures loaded. I was then able to load the last two and successfully post. This is not a big issue since I don't intend to do an Andy S. pictorial or dissertation. However, the freezing screen can toss a newbie for a fit after putting in an extensive ad, and there's no way to know it is probably waiting for them in their personal classifieds listing.  I'm good with ME.

I used IE 11 on a two year old Dell dual processor desk top for this ad.  I'll try a similar size picture layout in Edge next time.
I'm older and comfortable with IE, many are. I do keep Edge and Firefox in that bottom bar thing and used edge sometimes.

I'm more impressed with follow up here, enough so now.
I've never facedbooked, never twitted, never gone there, use a flip phone, I don't text, use AOL mail....
I'm a little older, cranky, stiff set, and could probably ALMOST challenge Herb on that.  Keep up the good work here.

Most that have brought up the subject of the yellow announcements, agree with me. My approach to attempting to stay unbiased is to listen and let others initiate.
The yellow announcement of members re joining is old hat, something to wade through in the ads, and just give the appearance to more regular members as being Nothing other than fluff and fill to make AM look bigger and badder. They don't count toward the daily quantity of ads posted. HOWever, the Feature ads for Purchase are desired by most that go into that detail. Those that pay for a feature ad often comment on the snuffing aspect caused by the overpowering 'abuse' aspect of AM self posting yellow list. Those that DON'T buy the Feature ads comment on just skipping the whole list, largely due to the overpowering 'abuse' aspect of AM self posting yellow list. (the word 'abuse' had been volunteered more than once)    This is just a suggested thing to consider as appropriate to this string.  Newbies have brought up the yellow membership announcements as kinda nice, then the fecal material hits the circular aerator pretty quick.

Now you are just picking nits lol

Those announcements are only in one category ie "Misc" and it is quite simple to change the display option at the top of the listing to "for sale" only and not see a single one of those announcements. Those announcements have been there for years. You might even find some other neat features if you play with those settings a bit

Love it or leave it is all i can say. Only gripe i have it that some sellers won't take a personal check anymore and want 1 hour or less payment times. That is not Astromarts fault.
