While the timestamps are now "everywhere", the SORTING IS STILL CORRECT! All the listings are still sorted by the most recent posting/renewal date, so you are not missing anything. The "scrambled" timestamps you see are the result of the renewed/reposted postings appearing with their original posting dates now. This way, you can immediately distinguish between brand new postings and reposts. Thanks! -The Craigslist app development team at Escargot Studios. Unable to connect in St. Louis, Kansas City, Wichita, and surrounding areas? We received many reports of the AT&T firewall blocking access to Craigslist in several areas of Missouri and Kansas.

Onavo messes up Internet traffic. Delete it, remove your Onavo profile, and restart your phone. Why do I get ZERO results? There are a few possible reasons for that. - Craigslist could be down for maintenance (usually happens late at night). - The category that you selected has ZERO (or zero matching) listings in it. - Please use the "Reset" button in Settings to remove filters that might be precluding you from getting the results. -If you are still getting zero results, go to General Settings / Reset and continue with Network Settings Reset Posting crashes -OR - I can't post anymore, what's happening? Remove ALL cities from your list, and re-select a city to post to (DO NOT use Auto-Location or Recent Cities at this step). You will to see a URL that includes your city code (NOT just "post.craigslist.org/c") at the bottom of the posting page if the city re-selection was successful. Repeat this step if you still experience posting crashes. Please make sure you read and follow Craigslist rules about posting, reposting, and posting too often. In particular, Craigslist will block all you subsequent posts that are "very similar" to your previously posted ad. Your account could be blocked if you would try to post more often than once every 48 hours. You can read more here Can I run complex Craigslist searches?
