hi When I search for my website <url removed> at the ODP I get 3 search results. One of the search results shows a link to the page <url removed> and it shows that this listing would be in a category Society: Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual: Travel: Destinations: Middle East: Israel at http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Gay,_Lesbian,_and_Bisexual/Travel/Destinations/Middle_East/Israel/ But when I visit this category it says "The page you attempted to access does not exist on this site." What I wanted to do was to visit this category page and submit a request to remove the link to the page <url removed>. But this is not possible because thecategory pag…

I have been prevented from submitting my site to the open directory for about a month now because the captcha code facility is broken. No captcha image appears at all because the domain https://captcha.aol.com/ where the captcha image is supposed to be hosted times out. Since no captcha appears, I can't submit. The page that I am trying to submit my site to is in a Japanese category (and so the submit details page is also in Japanese): http://www.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi?where=World/Japanese/%E5%9C%B0%E5%9F%9F/%E3%83%A8%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%91/%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AE%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9/%E3%82%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%89%E3%81%A8%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%83%AC%E3%82%AF%E3…

Feature suggestion: Regional as attribute instead of as category Several times I have been looking for something on dmoz and have wished that I could essentially do a cross section of category X region. Many business listings are either in the appropriate class in the main directory OR they are in a regional directory. I have found it difficult to combine these to effectively find "All greenhouse equipment suppliers in the province of Alberta" I would suggest that the regional categories be abolished, and that instead the regional information becomes just an attribute of the main listing. This should be a relatively easy action not requiring human intervent…

When a patient types in 'Atlantic Health', they are returned with a description that starts with "cooperative group of five hospitals..." and proceeds to list the hospitals. Included is Mountainside Hospital, which is NOT a part of Atlantic Health and needs to be removed. Can an Editor perform this update asap?

We have recently removed our <meta name="description"> and <meta name="keywords"> tags in hopes of Google using often updated text on our index page for their description of our site <url removed> formerly know as and listed in dmoz as "Qingdao Travel & Living Guide". It seems that Google uses dmoz's site description when the main page of a, well indexed, large site removes the <meta name="description"> tag. However, Google does use the text of our content pages for their description of the page. Has anyone else had similar experiences? How can this issue be resolved? Thanks.

Hi when I try to update the URL for my site I keep getting this message, even though I am in the right category: URL not found The site [site URL] is not listed in this category. Please go back in your browser if you need to resubmit the form. We have two listings and it is happening for both. Both currently have dead links. Does anyone have any suggestions?

When pressing "submit" when suggesting a site, it redirects to a page that only says: "Please verify the text in the image" There is no confirmation of the submission. I tried several times and the same message appears. Is it accepted. If so, is it considered spam to submit several times as I did in confusion.

:confused:On submission I got something like 'please fill in the text you see in box if you can't see the text refresh' request having already done so. I expected a 'thanks your site has been submitted' type response. Is this normal or has something failed at submission stage. I don't want to submit again and be kicked out. Advice appreciated.

Hi. I've been on the site for a few hours tonight and the same thing keeps reoccurring. 2/3rds of the time, the page loads fine, but the other third of the time, it just comes in blank. Granted, this might be me, but I've got to say, this is isn't something that happens to me on any other sites.

Hi, I'm currently adding a bunch of sites to dmoz and i'm experiencing some troubles related to form usability. I post my impressions here, hoping they can help to improve the form. I know the captcha can keep out spammers, but if a regular user mistypes the code, he gets an error and the suggestion go back in your browser if you need to resubmit the form. First, the message is wrong. You can't just go back, you have to reload the captcha and the page. If you just go back you'll see the same captcha, but even if you type the correct code it won't work. On the other hand, if you reload the page (but you have to work out this by yourself) you lose all the fie…

Hello Something strange happened when I try to submit, yesterday, at DMOZ. At the end I had to fill in this security code. Those difficult to read graphic. I did so, submitted and got the message. "Look at the graphic . It must match". Or something like that. And: "Go back in your browser". I checked, double checked, there was no mistake. Then I read: " refresh the page for new graphic". Anyway I tried two times. Waiting for a message like: thank you for submitting. Nothing! I do not want to submit to much. Can somebody tell what I did wrong? And especially if I have to do submit again?? So, did I or did I not submit??? Thea <url removed>
