For example I'm looking at the lens section. Under Category near the bottom of the page, it says there are 51 ads, but I can only see 10, no matter what I do.
This is the same for all the categories, it apparently shows only a fraction of what is there.
Can this be fixed?

Maybe that's an accumulative number, not actual. Or it could be those ten ads have multiple tagging, so you might see them under more than one classification.

It seems the classifieds are broken.

the classifieds were set up well after rff was started, they were 2 separate sites... it has been a long term source of problems since its inception.
I don't think so.
the larger number includes deleted ads as I recall.
Our tech guy will check it out and post what he finds here.

Stephen,
If you look in a specific category (lenses, for example) you'll see at the bottom of the listings a link to go to the next page of ads, if the category has enough ads to warrant multiple pages. When you click the link to go to page 2, however, it just brings up the first page of listings again.

So here is the deal and it should be a simple fix. But, didnt write this code.
The number on the category shows the total number of ads. For example ...
mysql> select count(*) from ppc_products where cat = 2;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 57 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
cat 2 means lenses.
The status column under the ad indicates if its been sold, closed or whatever. If the status = 0, it is an active ad. If the status is greater than 0, its been closed, sold or something else.
Now ...
mysql> select count(*) from ppc_products where cat = 2 and status = 0;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 12 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
As you can see only 12 active ads.
And
mysql> select count(*) from ppc_products where cat = 2 and status > 0;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 45 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
45 closed or sold.
The software is fine, its just showing a misleading number.

The "problem" has been resolved. Thanks for all the input. I am glad that in the end, the classified ads are showing all active ads.
Thanks, Jorge.

Please help. This morning I tried twice to post/buy and ad for my entire darkroom. I carefully uploaded pics and wrote out a detailed description of each item. When i got to the submit ad button, the system kicked me out and I was sent to a log in page. I was def. logged when I started the process. When i logged in the ad was gone. I spent the morning doing the ads and want to make sure the next time it works. I could use some advice. Thank you folks!!
used Edge, log in checking remember me from the home page, go to the classifieds and place the ad.
You can place the ad without pics just to get it posted, then go back and add the pics and edit the text.
However do not add items after ad is posted, that takes another ad.
In the meantime, I will have the tech guy take another look at the classifieds.
Be Safe,
Stephen

Using Edge is a decent temporary work-around, I suppose, but as 90% of the forum works fine on Safari or Chrome or Firefox, why can’t the 10% work too?
I haven’t been able to place any ads, nor easily reply to an ad, for quite a while now. It keeps logging me out.
I don’t need/want another browser just for that 10% of RRF. I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

When I click on 'Random' now, I see ads from 2014.
A couple of days ago clicking on that just showed the current page re-arranged.
