Whatever category you placed it in should be where it's at. Don't forget you can use the search box at the top to search for your ad. If someone replied to your ad, it's either there and you just couldn't find it because a bunch of other ads may have been piled up on top of it or it was flagged. It's called "ad ghosting" because you think your ad is posted and you even get the email saying that it is published but it's really not. This is used as a spam deterrent so that spammers will think their ad is posted when it's really not. Most won't take the time to actually go see if it was published. Unfortunately many legit ads get caught up in the ghosting mystery. I wouldn’t know what your ad is listed under, you would have chosen its category upon posting it.

However, someone has already replied to: $ 650 master bdrm w/private bath in private home. (Allied Gardens). I am such a computer novice that when I looked under room wanted, or share room etc., could not find my ad. Please help. Thank you. Since my ad apparently showed up for somebody to reply to, why can't I find it, and why is it called "ad ghosting"? What is my ad listed under so that I can find it?
