Try the following:
1. "Clear your cookies" in your web browser and try again.
2. You might have a firewall or other piece of software that blocks the site from checking that you are logged in behind the scenes. Try adjusting your computer settings by either marking thesamba.com as "safe" or reducing your Internet Security from "High" to "Medium".

Your Classified ad was not submitted - Tips:

It is possible that you are using too many photos or photos that are too large and your web browser is timing out. Make sure your photos(s) are each under 600 KB in size. Under 150KB is even better. If you have a lot of photos and most of them are over 100-150 KB each, you may want to try placing the ad with only one photo at first. You can add the remaining photos right afterward.
