Just trying to reply to some Craigslist ads. Does anyone else have problems with what are supposed to be the pop-up phone numbers that are put into the ads? I seem to be able to get them when posted in more local (to me) ads, but I get errors whenever I try to get them out west. I have searched online and there are multiple threads about issues with browsers, but I have tried 5 different browsers and can not get them to work

For instance...can anyone get this phone number? Just an example of one that will not work.

I got it but had to use internet explorer to do it. I couldn't decipher why Edge (my only other browser choice at work) wouldn't display 775 229-2373

I've had the same issue at times. Same browser and computer it works one day and not the next. Always seems to work on my phone.

FWIW, my internet exploder is clean, no ad blockers, no browser helper objects. I have ghostery and ad block plus running on Edge but neither seemed to be the issue.

Odd, I'm home now using firefox 72.0.2 with ad nauseum and ghostery installed and got the phone number again. I didn't have to pause or disable anything.

with my desktop i have several pop up blockers. when i try to click on a highlighted link area it won't open up due to the blocker. i have to right click and hit open link in new window to get it to open.

maybe give that a try,

I finally remembered what that animated symbol that pops up is, it's a CAPTCHA thing. I think the root of the problem is with CAPTCHA

I get that message unless I temporarily disable my VPN (virtual private network). No problems any other time.
