Q: I am trying to find a rental home in Bham. For some reason, your website won't let me access the rental information. When I click on an add - nothing happens. I can't read the info.
A: The information is presented in a pop-up window, so if you have a pop-up blocker on, that may be why you're not getting the additional information.

Q: I am simply trying to read yesterday's newspaper on-line-what is the trick to finding it? It was recycled (and now has blown away) before I could see it. It shouldn't be as difficult as this website has made it. Please help and thanks.
A: There isn't a PDF version of the newspaper online. But all the local content is posted to the Web site, often before it's printed.

Q: Tried several times to place an ad via your web site to sell a motorhome. Selecting "Recreational Vehicle" from the prompts just provides the pull down menus for cars & pickups instead of RVs, making it impossible to place the ad online. Selecting "Contact Customer Service" tab does not provide an email address, phone number or any other way to "Contact Customer Service". Very frustrating.
A: The "Contact Us" tab includes our contacts. Classified Supervisor Corinna Healey-Smith can help you during business hours. Her phone is 756-2846 and her email is corinna.healey-smith@bellinghamherald.com.

Q: There is a commenter called "Instigater" who has made it his sole purpose in an online discussion forum (from an article about guns at Yeagers) to personally attack me and my nationality. I have reported all his comments as "abuse" but nothing seems to have been done. How many of such abusive attacks is a person allowed to make before they are banned?
A: Several people have to report abuse on a comment before we remove it. If a single commenter has multiple comments removed, they're banned from participation. If we're alerted to comments that meet the legal test for libel or are threats of physical violence or other illegal activity, editors remove those comments.
