I promise you, there is no "Post Ad" link at that link you sent me to: http://www.macgregorsailors.com/photoads/viewads.php
In fact, that whole top menu from your image does not exist when I go there. I only see a way to search the classifieds.

Does anyone see it when you click his link?

Perhaps I could send you the $34 via paypal and you could simply copy and paste this ad onto your forum? http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/boa/3344724201.html

I think I figured it out, I only use the Google Chrome Browser. Open your google Chrome browser and then go to your link. None of your top menu shows up. However, now that I know they're there, i can hover my mouse around until I find them by accident.

Google Chrome is a popular browser, perhaps Heath should see if he can get the top menu to shou up on Chrome.

If not Chrome, what kind of device are you on, PC or mobile?

I'm on an old laptop. Maybe my video display is not setup to show enough colors and those colors from the top menu aren't showing up? The laptop is running the Windows XP.

Can you scroll UP the screen display?

or

Can you zoom out the screen display (hold CTRL button while scrolling)?

The Classified Ads menu doesn't show up for me in Firefox (latest version). It does appear in Internet Explorer, however. It appears that the menu is implemented as a PNG image file with an HTML image map to the different links (i.e., View Ads, Post Ad, etc).

My initial thought is that you might have an ad blocking extension running in Chrome (????). I use Adblock+ in Firefox but I haven't turned it off to see if it is preventing that part of the website from showing. Another idea is to check if you have Javascript turned on in Chrome. I'm fairly certain that there is no Javascript involved with the ads menu but it may be an option.

Yes you've solved it!!!! Last week I downloaded Chrome's new AdBlock software that Google put out: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... kkbiglidom Because Heath has made that top menu as a PNG image, AdBlock thinks it's an ad and blocks it.

When I went there with Internet Explorer with no Ad-Blocker installed, I can see the menu.

Here's my suggestion for Heath and Admins: Ad blocking software like Kleinhhl and I use will only get more popular in time. Perhaps consider changing the top menu to regular HTML text and remove the PNG image as this will get blocked and some won't be able to post classifieds.
