Hi, I am having difficulties in registering a new password wity DMOZ. The email sent by dmoz to allow me to change an a password was blocked as containing a virus. I was alarmed to find that my previous post describibg this problem was deleted. My cry for help was genuine and I cannot see why it was deleted. I have also tried contacting staff@dmoz.org and app-staff@dmoz.org, but both these addresses are bounced back as unknown. Can the moderator please leave this post on the system, so I might get some help. Thanks ODP Editor bobc

Dear Sir or Madam, The Editor Feedback form on the .dmoz website does not appear to work and results in the following error message:- "Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request POST /cgi-bin/send2.cgi. Reason: Error reading from remote server" Just thought I would let somebody know, on the off chance that something is wrong with the server settings rather than my system. Kind regards Terry

I have a question regarding my company's website which is listed in the DMOZ directory of: Family/Parenting/Resources/ but for some reason is not listed in the corresponding Google Directory. When I try to submit my site to the Google directory it brings me to the DMOZ "submit a site page". How do I go about getting my site included in the Google Directory if it is already included in DMOZ? My site has been listed in DMOZ for over a year but has never shown up in the Google Directory, any ideas? Thank you, -Fishman

I recently received my dmoz editor approval notice, however I am unable to login? It does not seem to recognize my user ID, should I be using the ID that is sent to me in the approval email subject field? Also, the reset password link does not seem to work.

After sending a feedback you get an error page, as if the feedback was not sent at all. Apparently, the message is sent. If fixing this problem takes a while, then at least display a proper message so users won't re-send those messages just like I did several times.

We noticed that information about our website was outdated and requested an update and filled in the form on DMOZ.org . We applied for a name chage from Castle Electronics to Castle Telecom. Applied for a new description and category within DMOZ.org. today, when I look in the index and search for "Castle Electronics" I find it in the category: World: Nederlands: Webwinkelen: Consumentenelektronica (1) But when I click on the category I can not find us? Is this a BUG? Also the changes ( name, description, category) are requested a few moths ago it still did not change. Are there editors in Holland on this category?

Dear all, I cannot find any information about contributing ODP as a developer, rather than as an editor. I have a few ideas in mind and I can help implement them (or other ideas): 1. An automatic first level prioritizing filter that will sort submissions based on various factors (for example, sites that pop up windows, redirects to another domain, contain nothing but advertisements, contain viruses, or too exposed to XSS injections will have a lower priority). 2. An automatic first level rejection filter for Kids & Teens, based on the usage of improper words, links to improper websites, etc... 3. A 'current status' & 'reason of rejection' information p…

I have two sites with DMOZ listings that were either inaccurately edited by DMOZ editors or have out of date information. I have tried to submit an update request for weeks. It is always "temporarily" out of service, or on one occasion the message did not go through. I tried emailing to staff@dmoz.com. The email bounced back. This is beyond frustrating. I am near giving up and changing the robots file to instruct search engines to ignore DMOZ. How can I simply update these listings, one of which was never correctly edited to begin with (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Hi Jim, I'm having a similar issue. I recently changed my editor account password in preparation for the rollover. I used a password generator, and I fear it may have made the password rather complex and included some unusable characters. I've tried the email password feature, and it returns the password, but the password does not work. Thanks, Chris

If I'm not mistaken, when people submit a website, all informations provided should logically be stocked under the same ID in a database. And when an editor is done wit a review, the entry must be deleted using a button, along with that line in the database. Which leads me to think, if you changed that delete button to run just before the deleting part a retrieve mail and a mailing function, a notice could be sent on deletion. And if you make a set of button with a set of predefined email templates, then you'd have a nice bar with a set of delete buttons which sends different reasons for refusal. Seems like something convenient to have. Of course I can't really chec…

Hey all- I'm trying to get in touch with the editors of the Science category and I'm receiving a proxxy error page. Specifically: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request POST /cgi-bin/send2.cgi. Reason: Error reading from remote server Perhaps this is why the category hasn't been updated since June of 2009?

Hallo, two weeks ago I got the confirmation that my application as editor was successful. I tried to login - but it did not work. It still does not work. I posted my problem in the German forum and an admin resetted my password, but it did not help. I think there is a bigger technical problem. I have already tried any possible variant of my password and also used the "forgot password" function. My user name and password are correct. Any ideas? Can anybody help me? Thanks!

I've been trying to get my site listed and have even tried to become an editor to get it listed faster. Truth is I wouldn't be a good editor writing is not my skill. Can we volunteer to help streamline ODP or fix some of the bugs instead of becoming an editor. All I really want is to get my site listed but would love to help contribute in anyway. Look if you are an editor who is looking to pick apart the semantics of my question save yourself the energy simple no or anything constructive would be nice.

If I search for <name deleted> The url shows as <URL deleted> However if you click on the link to go to the regional category you will find on this page if you hover over <name deleted> that the url shows as <URL deleted> I believe the search page is incorrect as over a month ago I submitted a form to tell the editors the site had move to <URL deleted> and this was quickly updated on the category page. Can you tell me why the search is still the old link ? This has now been like this for a few weeks so I can't believe the search indexing would not have updated by now ?
