Curlie currently suffers from two importantish bugs: The Editor feedback system is down - this also means that the email verification doesn't work and blocks us from opening new accounts. For Editor Applications, as a workaround, we can contact you via ordinary email to ensure it was really you who applied. For Public Accounts (Personal Pages) the system is entirely automated. We can't even see these applications, so no workaround is possible. Our second problem is our servers aren't stable, and have a tendency to throw 504 errors (time-out) . If you get a white page with 504 marked on it, simply refresh the page until ther…

How do I prevent the Curlie edit URL screen from replacing spaces in URLs with + characters? This modification of the URL produces an undesirable result in the linked page. Is it possible to force the screen to accept the URL as I have entered it?

Reproduction: Open [iCODE]curlie . org/de/Computer/[/iCODE] Click on "Deutsch" next to the big PC icon. URL should be now [iCODE]curlie . org/de/[/iCODE] Type "test" into the search box. Press the return key. Exepected: Show the search results for "test". Error: An error page is shown: "The page you attempted to access does not exist on this site.". Reason (IMHO): The "action" of the search form is relative to the current URL. Because there is a "/" at the end of the URL after step 2, a request to [iCODE]curlie . org/de/search?...[/iCODE] is made. The right URL would be [iCODE]curlie . org/search?...[/iCODE]

Any chance you guys could leverage the Registry of Open Data service on AWS. Their Open Data Sponsorship Program is specifically for public data providers and orgs such as curlie.

It looks like the search facility is broken on Curlie. Whatever I try to search, it returns an empty result even when googling for the term limiting it to search only on Curlie via the "site:" operator returns lots of results. I'm using Firefox.

After attempting to log in many times under a username password combo I know was correct, I decided I would just request a change. I did so, and still, I am unable to log in to the editors section at all. It is now to the point where I have exceeded the max tries so I have to wait, but is something wrong with the servers? Is anyone else having issues?

Hello, I tried to activate my user at curlie.org/forum, but I don't receive any mail with my password. After I enter my username and email addres I get the information "A new password was sent to your registered email address.". If I use another mail addresse, I get the information "The email/username information submitted could not be found." - so I think I have the correct email address. I checked my spam folder. The email address is unchanged since years and still active. Can you help me?

Hi Guys, I'm a new editor, and want to start reading the editor forums before I go ahead and update anything in my category. However, I can't login to the editor forum with the supplied editor password, and my username. I waited 24 hours since receiving the welcome mail (it says can take up to 8 hours in editor dashboard). Any ideas what to do? Thanks! M

Username: Kirkman Category: http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Online/BBS_Doors/ Date: 7/7/2013 This morning I received verification by email that my editor application had been approved. So I tried logging in to dmoz.org, but every attempt failed. So then I used the password reset feature and set a new password. But logging in with that new password isn't working either. Can anyone help? --Josh

Please don't consider my activity as spam, since I am reporting a new type or error/bug and have technical question daily and please don't ban me for doing so. My intention is to help this Web Savvy project. Applicants who submitted their Editor Application can use I forgot my Password feature which is meant for Editors. I have submitted my application from username: kingavineshsingh, If I visit I forgot my Password section and enter my username there, I will receive an email for the same and can reset password. This may be a bug or some error. As a developer I can say that, there should be a function like if=account_approved then open=htpp....... else "Not…

Username: kingavineshsingh My intention was to help ODP and not to hack ODP. I want AOL and ODP team to fix this issue soon. If I visit http://www.dmoz.org/... then I would get a 404 not found error but along with it I can also know which Version of Apache Server ODP is using and that's not good. Suppose If I would have been a hacker then after having knowledge of Server version of ODP, I would have tried to find vulnerability in this version of server and would have tried to hack it. AOL and ODP team should fix this issue although it's not very critical but we should follow some 'standards'. P.S. My intention was not to hack ODP, I am just reporting this iss…

If we navigate to Homepage of ODP, www.dmoz.org at footer of page we would find a log something like this: x,xxx,xxx sites - xx,xxx editors - over x,xxx,xxx categories and at the same time if we re-load the page, we would find that these info have been changed from a big margin. For example like: number of editors may increase or decrease in thousands and that too within one second. So could any Editor tell me whether this is a bug or this is actual data ?

Dmoz category names (identifed by supposedly unique id attribute of the Topic element) are assumed to be unique, but in fact they aren't. This creates problems when the data is being processed and used. Can this be fixed? Here is the list of non-unique category names with their catids: Top/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Congenital_Anomalies/Craniofacial_Anomalies/Sturge-Weber_Syndromelies/Sturge-Weber_Syndrome 456346 456764 Top/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Skin_Disorders/Cowden_Syndrome 456324 456754 Top/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Skin_Disorders/Ectodermal_Dysplasia 456294 456398 Top/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Skin_Disorders/Pseudoxanthoma_El…
