Same thing happened to me. go into the classified section and click on it there and it will open. Basically Ryan changed the minimum post count for the classified section from 100 to 5.

Below is what Ryan posted if you could not access.

Hey guys, I have been thinking about this a lot recently and want to do a little testing to see how things go. Essentially, what I have done is changed the minimum post requirement to use the classifieds from 100 posts to just 5. Obviously, this will make the hurdle to use our classifieds much shorter... and this is a good and bad thing. A good thing in that it will hopefully jump start the market place a bit. A bad thing in that it will also make the hurdle shorter for scammers. Given that, please keep a couple of things in mind:

1. You buy and sell on The Garage Journal at your own risk!

2. We recommend using PayPal. This protects both the buyer and the seller in most instances... and in my experience, is the safest way to conduct an online transaction.

3. Always take a person's post count in to mind when conducting a transaction. Be smart. Use your intuition.

In any case, this is only a test... and we might go right back to a stricter environment. I just wanted to give it a shot before I start working on the Xenforo migration.

Thanks guys!

Ryan
