It depends on what device you are using to access the site......but if using a desktop or laptop go to the classifieds page and look on the left side of the screen. There is a link named "Place a new ad" once you click that just follow the prompts.....works pretty much just like the old site.

If you are using a tablet you need to read this: https://www.astromart.com/forums/astromart-groups/astromart-faq/i-dont-see-left-and-right-column-on-my-tablet?page=1#post157728 then start out by opening the classifieds page same as above then follow the instructions at the link. Once you have the left side column in view it works the same as above.

If you are using a phone verify you are logged into the site otherwise the option wont be there, open the classifieds page and the "place a new ad" link should be among links displayed at the top of the page.

Thank you, that's helpful except the arrows won't do anything on my pad, I will try another approach. Jim

I've got the same problem posting an add.  No left collum, adds categories fill the page left to right, blue boxes do nothing.  Desktop, firefox & Blue Moon act the same.

Sounds like perhaps you guys should try changing the resolution of your display screen.

My screen resolution is 1280 x 1024, should be OK.        Perhaps it is a browser issue.  Is FireFox ver  52.6.0 (32-bit) a supported browser?

No idea....just tossing a suggestion out. It might be a browser issue though as well.....certainly cant hurt to try a different one. Lots more variables in equipment and software than there used to be so I am not surprised that some configurations are problematic.....

I actually use 1360x768 on a 32" Sony TV and a desktop and IE11 or Chrome without any issues here.....

When trying to enter an add the box where text body is to be entered appears and disappears.  Had to restart 3 times to get the add entered.  Is this the best place to submit bug reports ?
FireFox ver. 36.0.4 Desktop.
