How To Publish A Draft

I have three postings that somehow got moved to "Draft" status when I tried to Publish them. There are now errors, the email address is correct, but repeated tries to publish don't result in getting the validation email? What am I doing wrong? (Craigslist tech support is non existent!)

t's either a glitch in Craigslist's programming or a problem with your browser. If you think it may be the former, you can let Craigslist know but don't expect a personal response. (Various feedback and other contact options are provided at http://sfbay.craigslist.org/contact.) Otherwise, makesure you haven't disabled any scripts and follow the 4 numbered steps here.
