Hi , I must admit , it’s not easy to find my way around this site , I m a bit of a dinosaur , but I do find it difficult to find thins , Yes , I can find my posts ,but I rarely see them advertised on the daily forum , ?

I cannot find out how to renew my advert ,in order to get it back in a new advert position ?

I suppose I could copy and paste my old advert ,but that would mean having to upload photos again , which for some strange reason , quite often when I try to put pictures on , doesn’t work? Help please

Thanks

Here we go again ! I just tried to add the above message and it took me to a payment section for new ads , when I am actually just trying to get the Admin dept , or somebody to answer me

Should the forum not have the “contact Costa Blanca forum “?

It would be a good “option “...No?

It would help people like me :-)

If at first you don’t succeed...

thanks again

Have you tried "Help with using this website" ? You'll find it in the menu and will probably answer most, if not all, of you questions.

The biggest problem I find with the site is that it does not promote topics with new replies or have an active topics function.

This means that you can post a reply in a topic which for arguments sake let's say is standing at the top of the second page but nobody will ever see it unless they scroll down an visit (or revisit) that topic.

I subscribe to numerous forums but this is the only one thus handicapped.

While we're on the subject of how the site works, from the many instances of duplicate posts it seems that having to put a location when creating a new topic confuses some into thinking that their post will only be seen in that region hence prompting them to post it in other areas. This is false of course and I must admit I struggle to understand the value of that mandatory selection when a posters location is clearly stated in their post header.

In any case actual location is mainly only relevant to buying and selling so why not let it be up to prospective buyers to decide if an item is too far away to consider.
