M4RN Current Ad Or Not

[Gar1eth]

This may have already been discussed, but if not...

 

We all know that M4RN has tons of expired ads. On the full website you used to be able to tell if an ad was expired because the Location Box used to move up and cover the contact info. Last time I looked however an update to the site removed this telltale sign. You were never able to tell at all on the mobile site as the layout of the page was slightly different.

 

Now looking at the mobile site, I think I've detected a way to tell if the ad is current or not. I've noticed that some ads say 'Ad Since Date Year' at the bottom of the listing whereas some ads don't have this notation at all. The ones without this notation looked to me like ads of escorts I was almost sure were old and out of date while a large number of the ads with this notation had phone numbers -a definite sign of a current ad. But the notation (if my supposition is correct) is helpful for trying to figure out whether ads where the only contact is by email is actually a current ad or expired. I don't know if there is comparable notation on the full site as I almost never look at it anymore as I'm usually on my phone.
