Freecycle

[donna123]

Is it OK if a ask a question about Freecycle on here? I wasn't sure where to put it and didn't want to use Chat because things move down the list so quickly there.

Anyway, the question is: I have sent some messages that don't seem to appear anywhere. Should I be able to see my own messages?
I posted a WANTED yesterday that is not on the list but some messages have appeared since then (so the organiser has processed stuff after mine). In the past I have responded to OFFERS but had no reply (so I wasn't sure if the offeror never replied or never received the message in the first place). I even sent a message to the organiser about it but got no reply to that!!
I know that some things do get through because I have made contact with some offerors - the original contact does not show in Yahoo but the subsequent conversation does.

If I post in freecycle messages, should I see it in my sent box in Yahoo?

TIA

D'oh. I have just realised that I could put this in ethical living.
Off to repost!

In our local freecycle the moderators won't put out wanted ads unless they see a history of you putting things up for offer, but they do send you an email explaining this.

Lots of times people don't respond because they've had loads of replies.

Can't really help you on the other stuff becuase I don't understand it myself

Oooh. Good thinking about the settings, KOMH, I had forgotten about that. I am set to special notices only and usually read messages off the website.

I didn't put the postcode on because we are a relatively small geographical area. I must admit that I haven't posted an OFFER yet - I wanted to get a feel for it before I start inviting random strangers to my house!
