A Craigslist Question |

On what I thought is the "official Craigslist site," listings were grouped by the date they were posted. Recently that changed. They were still shown in the order posted but the date was shown individually. Now there is no date shown. You need to open the listing in order to find out how current it is. There's a "Posted Today" box you can check but you find that a listing that says "posted 2 hours ago" is followed by an ad posted days or even weeks ago. I understand you can update your ad but there seems to be way too many "updates" to make me believe this is the reason for the date sequence problem. This really puts a dent in the fun of browsing Craigslist. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe I'm using the wrong site but it's the same one I've used for years. Thanks :-)

I just "returned" from the Craigslist forum where this question has been addressed. The response was to hover over the letter code on the listing title and the time/date would be indicated. This does work, however opening the ad shows a very different posting date in number of days. In checking at least 100 posts the date is different at least 85% of the time and often by as many as 25 days. I'll wait and see what the "official" response is. Sorry, I don't mean to turn this thread into a Federal case & thanks.

official response, still clumsy to me
"The date you see in the category index will be the date/time it was posted OR renewed. Within the ad, there are three date/time groups. The one at the top will be the date/time it was originally posted. Then two at the bottom of the ad, the first one the original date/time it was posted and then the most recent date/time it was renewed."
I'm done with this post. Thanks for the input. | ||

Mine changed but not as you have described. I noticed the other day that a new section appeared to the left of the screen where you could click on and off the categories you wanted to see but mine still appears to have the date in the listing and is sorted by the newest. I've attached a picture of what mine looks like.
So you guys are saying yours no longer shows the dates in the listed to the left? Does yours have the new feature to click on and off the categories you wish to see?
