Once you have saved your listing, event or story, it is placed in the appropriate section in the categories you selected. You can see it there. You can also see it in the following special sections. Note: you must be logged in for this to work. Your user name will appear at the left.

For Businesses, Services and Organizations you can click on the word Listings on the left and it will show you all of these listings, and allow you to make changes.

For Classifieds you can click on the word Classifieds on the left and it will show you all of your Classified listings, and allow you to make changes.

For Calendar Events it depends on how they were entered. If they are part of a calendar, then go to your Listing, and select the calendar from there. If they are not part of a calendar, then you need to find them in the community calendar itself.

For News Stories go into the news section appropriate for the story.

Please do not reply to any email messages from c3pu, all replies to automated email are not relayed to humans but are gleefully eaten by c3pu and deposited into the bit bucket.

When you are searching for Businesses, Organizations and Classifieds, a variety of options will appear on the left side of the screen with filter buttons. You can check the options that are important to you, and then click filter.

We put a throttle or time limitation on how often you can post a new item, comment or other free listing to discourage spammers. Spammers write automated programs that make listings or comments promoting enhancement products, fake watches or whatever the scam du'jour is these days. While this does not prevent them from writing these programs, it is an attempt to limit the damage and annoyance that they cause.

If you run into this limit on one of your hand written submissions to this web site, please wait a couple of extra seconds before submitting it again.
