where is my post?
 
If you published an ad and dont see it on the site, there are few things to consider:
  • Your ad will be active on the site, only if you have published it from the email you received.
  • You may need to refresh/reload the page that displays the listings for the category you posted your ad for.
  • Make sure you are looking in the right category.
  • Make sure you are looking in the correct date. Your post will appear under the date you published the ad.
  • Try using the keyword search in the category you posted your ad.
  • Other possible reasons you dont see the ad may be its expired or may have been removed from the listing by flagging.
 
where is my publish email?
 
If you have successfully submitted your post and have not received the self-publish email you may consider the following:
  • You may have entered the email address incorrectly. If so, post a new ad with correct email address.
  • You may have exceeded your mailbox storage limit. Check your bulk/junk/spam folders.
  • Network problems between ISPs may cause delays in email transmission, sometimes hours. Consider checking back later.
  • Some email providers/ISPs use spam filters, which may have intercepted the email.
Try having the self-publish email resent to you.
 
If none of above helps you may consider posting a new ad using a different email address.
 
why my posting is deleted?
 
Possible reasons for your post getting deleted:
  • Your post may have expired.
  • Your post may have been flagged down by other users.
  • Your post may have been forwarded to us, found to be in violation of the Terms of Use, and deleted.
  • You may have deleted it yourself.
what are the flags for?
 
Web Cosmo flagging system help our users identify inappropriate posts for speedy removal very effectively, maintaining everyones ability to express themselves within the law.
 
Flags that can apply to a post are:
  • miscategorized
  • prohibited
  • spam
 
We encourage you flag posts if they are miscategorized, prohibited, or spam to you. One flag per person per post is counted.
 
If a post gets flagged enough, it gets removed automatically with a note sent to the poster.
can I advertise my business at Web Cosmo?
 
We do advertise businesses on the shops and services page. If you like to advertise with us send an email to us with your business details at: advertise@webcosmo.com
can I use HTML tags on post?
 
We encourage you use plain text. However if you need, you are allowed to use HTML tags on your post.
 
Use HTML only on the description of the ad.
 
We dont validate your HTML. We post it as it is. If you have a link on your post description, make sure it has http:// on it.
can I post to a category instead of subcategory?
 
If a post does not have any sub-category, you can post on the main category. If it does have any sub-category, you have to post on a sub-category. Even though you post on a sub-category, your post will be visible to users when they browse on the main category.
can I post to multiple locations?
 
Our goal is to keep Web Cosmo local, and useful to everybody. If you post on a country level, it may not appear on search results when visitors search for a specific state/city. On the contrary if you post for a state/city your post will be visible when visitors search for a counry as well as state/city. So its good idea to post on specific location.
how long does my post stay active on the site?
