You should be able to do it yourself: go to the http://aclug.notwerk.net/
homepage, click on "Classifieds", click on "Stuff for Sale", click on
"Place An Ad", click on "Hardware / Computer Parts." If you have registered
and cannot do that, there's some permission glitch that we need to track
down.

One slightly puzzling thing is that when you go to "Stuff for Sale" it
shows you "Recent Ads" but not ad categories. Turns out that it will
always show you the most recent 5 (configurable) ads, but only shows
the categories if there are more ads than are show in the Recent Ads
list. Since there are currently only 2 ads, the categories aren't shown.

Also note that the "Add/Edit Alert" link lets you get mail when new ads
are posted, or periodic digests of new ads.

One more note: the full text search isn't working on the ACLUG site. I
have it working here -- the difference being that I was able to install
pltcl locally but not on the aclug.notwerk.net machine. Someone should
file a bug report on that. (OK, I filed the bug report, #4.)
