Hello, apparently my editorship of the Logo category has recently lapsed: http://dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Lisp/Logo/ I had been editing this category with the username wpetti. (I know I made an update soon after the technical difficulties were resolved sufficiently to allow editors access in mid-January, so I must have just exceeded the 4-month limit by a few days.) My trouble is that when I attempt to submit my reinstatement request, I am given an error message: "Your password does not match our records. This may be the fault of our records. Please request a password reminder." This surprises me, because I have kept a record of my passwor…

Hi, when listing some cats on the main website sometimes the pages take ages to load and on others it's quick, this isn't an issue with my connection by the way. Does AOL handle the dmoz hosting?

I understand many of member of Dmoz can read or write english. However, many of them can not. Today, I received an email written in sim. chinese / traditional chinese. I am not sure because as I programmer like me, I believe this email encoded wrongly. I believe Dmoz does not has a seasoned programmer. If not, why does Dmoz not care about language coding??

Sorry if I repeat something what has been discussed before. My idea is this: How about to create some automated function for checking the site submission status. Example: There will be some link saying "Check site status in DMOZ". After clicking, there will be a simple form which asks for a domain. After clicking on the "Check" button, man will get one of these answers: 1) Your site isn't listed in dmoz and hasn't been submitted yet. 2) Your site is already listed in dmoz (category/categories). 3) Your site is awaiting review and it is XXX days since submission was received. 4) After review, we decided to reject your site which was submitted on MM/DD/YYYY. …

I've been trying to get my site added to DMOZ for over 1.5years now, so I finally managed to get a hold of the editor of the category that I'm trying to be listed in and after several "re-submits" as per his suggestion, he said: "I'm beginning to think that the system may be broken. Your submission has never shown up. In fact, the category that I edit has not had a new site submission this year - which strikes me as odd." The category is quite popular, so this definitely sounds odd. I also asked if he could manually add a site if I sent him the information by email, and he said: "Their editor interface is a bit privative. From what I can see, the only way to a…

I would like to make a suggestion. When a new editor application is submitted, it would be nice if a confirmation email was sent to the specified email address in the application. Therefore, the user would know that it was received and would have a record of the application with username and further information. I've noticed a few "Status Check" threads in the "Becoming an Editor" forum that state the application may have never been received. A confirmation email would avoid waiting two or three weeks to find out that the application was never received properly.
