To make things easier for readers and the Publisher – changes will be made soon to FREE classified.

The present system is a bit cumbersome for both readers and the Publisher and it will change back to the “comment” format used a couple of years ago.

WHY?

FREE classifieds is very popular with readers but it makes for a lot of work – and no pay.

The main rules : no item or rental can be listed for more than $999 and two name rule (first and last) used will be enforced.

The two name rule is useful for a number of reasons – one is tracking.

Ads will stay up no more than two weeks.

If you want it taken down quickly – same rule as now you must enter a SOLD or TAKE DOWN notice.

Phone calls and emails to Publisher will not work.

New rule: No more than two ads a day per person and no price changes and updating. Write it down first and check it.

Here is the schedule. Warnings will be given on September 1, 2, and 3

Changeover begins on September 4 and 5 – you must re-enter your ads

Full implementation on Tuesday September 6
