Hello- I've changed the address of my website, but am unable to use the update listing feature. Although my old website comes up in a search, entering that url into the update form results in a message stating the url can not be found. Therefore, I'm unable to update the listing. Also, clicking on the category that results from the search does not actually display my site listing. I've submitted my new website url as a new listing (after the update attempt failed) and hope that was the right move. What I'm really attempting to do is to update and regain my listing from my old url to the new. The old site now redirects (301 permanent) to the new site. I understand that ed…

Hi, I think that there may be an issue with the captcha on your "add" page. The whole “add” page loads, but the status bar at the bottom shows “downloading from https://captcha.aol.com.....” but the image never arrives. As a result, no “add” function can occur. I've tried with ie7, ie6 and firefox to no avail. Love the directory, and therefore always interested in keeping it successful. Thanks David

Hello- I have an unusual problem with my listing that I've been unable to correct on my own. I've changed the address of my website, but am unable to use the update listing feature. Although my old website comes up in a search for <title deleted>, entering that url into the update form results in a message stating the url can not be found. Also, clicking on the listing category that results from the search: Regional: North America: United States: North Carolina: Localities: A: Asheville: Arts and Entertainment: Photography does not display my site. I've submitted my updated website url as a new listing (after the update attempt failed) and hope that was the right mo…

Hello, When do the search function in ODP activate itself? I can't find pages there that I have added weeks ago, even though if I go into the category itself it is updated. Does it get updated at the same time as AOL get's the data dump up and working? And anyone have any idea of when that is happening?

HTTP compression is recommended by Google and Yahoo. However, the ODPdoes not appear to support it. I find this surprising, as the site's content HTML would compress very well. Granted, they're far from slow, but faster and smaller is still better. Perhaps it could be enabled? The ODP also uses GIF rather than PNG, and does not specify a cache expiry time for static images in the /img/ folder, which can result in needless repeated requests.

I just submitted my website url, entered all the information and the letters on the screen capture, checked and triple checked everything before clicking submit... is the resulting page supposed to state something that confirms the submission went through and or am I supposed to receive a confirmation email? because what I got was a simple page with "Please verify the text in the image. The text in the image and the text you submit in the input field must match." (which I have already done on submission page) and there was no image on the resulting page, only that text I just don't want to submit again which may result in a duplicate and possible rejection... how c…

I have tried to submit my Newcastle United site several times in the section http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Soccer/UEFA/England/Clubs/N/Newcastle_United/ , however it says that I need to re-enter the Captcha information even when I am 100% certain that the information I have entered has been correct. I have repeated this over and over, yet it is always the same result. Is this a common problem? An ODP site bug? Paul.

Step 2 of the submission guidelines says "Do a quick search in the directory at dmoz.org (the home of the Open Directory) to be sure your site isn't already listed. This saves everyone time." I have tried and tried and tried to search over the last two years and I get "Network Error (tcp_error) A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out" The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. " I am using broadband (not superfast) and have tried in IE, Firefox and Chrome, and with different computers, but get the same result. I seem to have seen…

Greetings General Suggestion: Have some simple page that lists if the url you submitted has been checked by a editor /and or deleted. something like When a user submits a site - they get a ID # - which they can check to see if anyone did anything with there submittion - I have a feeling alot of dup urls get posted which bogs everything down ..

Hello all I have just noticed that from here in St.Petersburg Russia I can reach http://www.dmoz.org only once out of three attempts and after quite a long waiting time. I tried two different subnets. One of the IPs is 89.223.24.128 Do you really have technical troubles with dns or it is another reason?
