Craigslist Ad Disappears???

If I post an ad on Craigslist with links to photobucket or imageshack pictures, the ad never shows up on Craigslist. CL sends me the URL, which is a valid URL, but the ad does not show up in search results.When I post the ad with no external pictures (photobucket or imageshack), the ad WILL show up in on CL and in search results. When I go in and edit the ad and include the external pictures, in about 10 minutes, the ad disappears from search results and the site. What is going on???

Sorry you're having problems. This is an unfortunately common experience among Craigslist users, known as ghosting. You might try the suggestions on this webpage.
