How long do my Offers and Requests last?

Check hourworld periodically to make sure that your Offers and Requests have not expired and are still current and complete:

• You still need the services you have posted as Requests.

• You are still willing to provide the services you have posted as Offers.

• All the Offers and Requests you want listed are showing up as current.

If your need has been met (someone fixed your loose railing or you got that ride to the airport), please take down your Request. The less “white noise” there is on the site, the more likely it is that members will see and respond to relevant posts.

However, you may want another Request (such as housecleaning) to stay active because you need that help routinely. For some posts, you may want to select “suspend listing” in the expiration date field. This way no one can see the post, but you can tweak it and repost it later without having to write it anew.

Reviewing and updating your posts periodically helps you and other members too. You don’t want members responding to your Offers for services you no longer want to provide -- or to your Requests for services you no longer need.
