A quick check on the address you have registered for Forum use says that you have a second addy is use in the photo ads section. Could it possibly be that the missing ads are in connection with the first address?
As you know, you can only have ONE verified address in use for the photo ads section. If you need any more help, PM me or one of the other Mods with the address you are using and we'll look into it further.

We have experience of a site where when placing your ad you have to tick boxes to dictate which section you wish your ad to appear in...i.e. cpls seeking men...cpls seeking women etc...
It seemed to work ok and joined to this was the facility to search by geographical location which was very handy..
Obviously these things take time and money to set up so it would be a case of Mark studying the choices and weighing them up..
Thx Blue. We have one ad in 3 diff categories. That is why we did not understand them being deleted.
As long as we're not breaking rules (and I am sure we were not at any time) we would like to continue to post these ads.
Vix, as we've already said, you need to vary those ads so that they are specific to each category.
A single male would not be interested in hearing you also want single women or couples as It's not relevant to him. Your text needs to outline the reasons why you're looking for a single male as well as the usual stuff about you.
You can then go on to do the same for single women.
If you really do need help putting together different ads, I'll try to help. Once your ads are markedly different from each other, you then can't be subjected to complaints about 'spamming' as has happened in your case.

Just a couple of points. Firstly, regarding having one ad which is linked across several categories. If you do something wrong on that ad, it gets deleted, but then it would be deleted across all categories. Would you want that? Currently if we find a problem with an ad, we deal with the one, not all, unless they were a problem too.
Secondly, what is the problem with rewording the ads? People are often complaining about receiving one-liner replies or 'cut and paste' replies and say why can't they make the effort? Works both ways if you do the same with the ad itself. Again, if people who browse the ads continuously see your ads at the top daily and all three are pretty much identical, what message does that send out? If a single guy did that, everyone would think 'how desperate is he?' If they all require refreshing daily, does that mean you are not getting responses of the right kind? Perhaps if it is, your ads might need reworking anyway.
Please don't take this as a dig at you two, Vix and Reese, as it certainly isn't meant that way. If you were in my area I would have responded by now!! We, as Mods, get to see a lot more ads than most people on here, because we have to, so we often see some pretty crappy ads and wonder why they were posted at all and would it ever get any responses. We also see all the complaints, so conversely, we know what other peoples opinions are to them.
Remember, we may seem godlike, but really we are human (except for the Great Black Dalek!), we make mistakes too! We also get tired and crabby when deleting dozens of ads every day - each!
