hi there!

I've tried using my ZIP(28906) and region(southeast) but no matter what I choose, I seem to get all the ads. Although I enter the zip for western NC and choose 100 miles, I get ads from Cali, Idaho, New York, Washington etc.

I used to use this system to find ads around me but seem unable to now. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks for your time!

Are you picking both a zip and Southeast? You can only pick ONE item from the Location selection lists.

If you are doing a zip code, make sure your web browser is not automatically selecting a State or Country for you - these should be set to All.
I have had some people tell me their web browser fills those out sometimes and they have to turn off that "feature".

Here's a 100 mile search around 28906 and it looks fine to me

Thank you very much sir. Autocomplete was selecting "USA". Once I moved it back to All, it worked as it was supposed to.

Thanks again!

I altered the form to turn off "autocomplete" for those fields so hopefully this will make things easier for you and others in the future.
