 * Hello there,
 * Is there a way to have the date input for an ad automatic, instead of the user
   having to do it manually ?
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Hi UniTexts,
 * I’m not clear on what date you’re talking about here. Are you asking about having
   a date field where the user can select from a calendar?
 * Or are you asking if the user can edit things like the start and expiration dates
   for the listing?
 * We don’t support the latter–that’s something that comes from the fee plan directly
   and the admin can override, but the user doesn’t get to edit.

 * Hi there,
 * No I mean when uploading an ad. Currently the user needs to manually input the
   date from a popup-calender. Is there a way for users to bypass this by having
   it an automatic feature ? So when they post the ad the date is automatically 
   inputted into the ad.
 * Right now there is an extra step, of clicking the current date in the calendar
   when uploading an ad, any way this can be done automatically ?
    Thank you,
 * Karl

 * Hi Karl,
 * Which specific date are you referring to? The dates for the ad (start and expiration)
   are NOT manually entered by the user at all at least from the front end. Other
   dates that you configure can be–so can you post a screenshot of the exact field
   you are referring to here? That would help me understand what you are seeing 
   and where.
 * Are you posting this ad as the admin? Are you doing it on the front or back end?
