If you want more oil, get it here.

A laughable situation..... This current administration has done nothing but seek to stifle domestic oil production since day one, canceling permits, taking federal owned lands off the table etc. while they push EV's. As new oil production requires private speculative investment no significant, intelligent investors are going to throw the funds needed at it given the negative political climate this administration has demonstrated towards domestic oil production. So they make noise about how this is a result of foreign suppliers fault while they continue stifling new domestic production.

One of very few Democrat politicians I respect just told the party to shove it and invited others to join her in leaving the party. She didnt pull any punches with her reasoning either.....Tulsi Gabbard, while I do disagree with her on a few things I would give a Desantis/Gabbard ticket a real hard look...... smile

Why am I noted as "NOT CONFIRMED"? My Classified never posted: Looking for a TeleVue 85.

Posted By Greg Shaffer
Because neither of you ever completed the final step of placing your ads. Open up your ad and click on the button that says "Place your ad" or something similar. Without doing that final step you are the only one that can view your ad.

No, there is no confirmation process beyond your own confirmation to post the ad.....I used to be able to view unconfirmed ads but they closed that door a while back, I can see you posted an ad and that it is in unconfirmed status but I cant actually open the ad anymore. 

99% of the time the issue is you have not actually confirmed the ad yourself though. I suppose it is possible there is an image size issue but I dont recall the limits if there is one although I am pretty sure there is one. I would suggest you reduce the image sizes of your pics to around 100k each and try again. 100k is plenty of resolution and I know for a fact you wont hit any size limits with that.....unless of course you a trying to put up a bazillion images on the ad lol.

I know pretty much all the ads I have put up over the years I have sized the images to all be under 200k and usually half that.....never hit any walls on the issue. I will put up a test ad and show you what I am referring to.....hang tight.

See circled in red button...... Pull up your ad and see if that green button is there....if it is you need to click on it. A confirmed ad will have a respond to seller button instead.

As I was about to bite the bullet with the now 0.6 megabyte pictures, someone somewhere allowed my stuck classified to be seen on the web. Happy I am, and I thought others who are learning might gain from reading this post. I don't know what the limits are, but they allowed one photo that was 1.4 megabytes. All is good, and this process is less opaque now.

It depends on how you are reducing the image size as to how the end result turns out. As a for instance this image is 156k and is quite sufficient for a for sale ad.....But glad you got it resolved.

From what I hear Trump will only agree to "testify" for the Jan 6th roasting committee if they agree to make it a live show. I have a feeling that isnt going to be acceptable to them......
