PHOTOS
The
maximum size for photos in pixels is 640x480 and a 200 kb file size.
All larger sizes will be rejected and deleted.
If you need to reduce the size of your photos, try our online
photo resizer. A great free photo
utility for reducing photo sizes is available for download at www.irfanview.com.
Only a thumbnail of your photo is shown in the listing.
When someone “clicks” on the thumbnail, a full size version of the
photo is shown. Please don’t post
any obscene photos (see our terms of use agreement below).
PERSONAL
ADS
Before posting or responding to personal ads please this info on personal
ad safety.
HOW

Within each ad there is a link “reply to this posting” which will

personal information. Replies to
ads are sent to the email address you used to register to the classifieds site.
