Has something happened to CL?

I have been unable to "log-into" Craigslist all day (sunday, 10 Aug. beginning early am CDT to, so far, mid afternoon CDT). Could someone have devised a way to keep someone who flags alot? (I am really tired of those "buy a '07 335i for $2980" ads .) If it makes a difference, the city I am trying to access is Memphis, Tn.

same here

No luck in Gainesville either. Its not from flagging posts thats for sure. I haven't been on Craigslist regularly for about a month.

Minneapolis Craigslist is working.

The main states list is working, as is Illinois and its cities.

cars is now Cars and truck url is xxx.craigslist.org/cto, not .org/cars. the 4 listings near me have been hit and miss

Just got this:

Craigslist said: Error Craigslist is currently undergoing some brief maintenance. Please sit tight, and try again later. We are aware of the situation, and the happy craigslist elves are scurrying to make it better, even now.

Ours recently changed from Cars to Cars-Private seller and Cars-dealer. But the main page doesn't reflect that yet.

More importantly, sometimes I'll list something and a page will come up like an invoice, saying my total is $0.00, but leaving me worried that paying for ads is not too far away (And I am aware that they derive their income through paid real estate rental listings in a few cities.)

CL came back about 4 pm here (CDT), I never saw anything about maintenance. The message I would sometimes get was something along the lines of "unable to perform that operation at this time, try again".

I don't know about anywhere else, but I assume those idiotic ads that tell you someone "locally" (the location is Memphis, but I imagine they are tailored to appear locally everywhere) has a VERY expensive car they are looking to sell for $2980 are starting to comprise 75% to 85% of the car/truck ads here. It's like the Nigerian scam on E-Bay in that all these scam car ads ask the same price whether they are selling a Chevy or a Porsche. I guess they think EVERYONE is a sucker for a low price?

I just found a super clean Avilanch for 5200, instead of palm trees in the backround, it had Cacti. Yes, upstate NY is full of seguaro cactus
