Hi! I just wanted to see the status of a DMOZ editor application I had submitted (username kp78) for the category located here: http://www.dmoz.org/Reference/Education/Colleges_and_Universities/Guides/ I had submitted the application in October of 2010. I don't think I got a notification from DMOZ that the app had been received, so it would be great to know whether it had arrived and if it has been approved. Thank you so much for any help you can provide! Best, Kevin P.S. If it helps in your investigation of this issue, I tried logging into DMOZ as an editor and received this message: User needs an email address verification before the user can login. Thank…

Hello - Just wanted to check in on an application I've submitted under the name mr007, for the category http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Insurance/Agents_and_Marketers/Health/Disability/. I do not recall the exact date of application but I believe it was in December of 2010. I do not recall ever receiving an email from dmoz, which made me wonder if the application was ever actually received. I understand that you are very busy and would greatly appreciate an update at your convenience. Thanks

The email I got a nearly a month ago said I could come here to ask questions. I just wanted to know about the application that I submitted around the middle of August. How can I find out what happened with this? Thanks.

I am trying to find out if I will ever be reinstated as an editor. I am not sure if my reinstatement request has been received, or if it has, whether or not my request will be granted. I have tried to find out how long it would be for the reinstatement process to take, but everything leads me back to the reinstatement form which only says, "Your application is under reviewing, please pay a little patience, thank you." -The grammatical errors alone make me wonder if the reinstatement system is even being monitored. The system does not indicate if my request is at the top middle or bottom of the queue. It also doesn't indicate whether or not it is moved to the bottom of the…

Hi to anyone who cares about the ODP. My username is sawadee and I recently applied to become a ODP editor for the category of: Regional: Asia: Thailand: Provinces: Chon Buri: Pattaya : Travel and Tourism (30) Now this category as you can see only has 30 listings, well under the 100 that is advised is a good category to apply for. Also I noticed that this category has not been updated since June 6 2007 and therefore appears to have no editor. So I duly applied for this category as I know a lot about the subject and it is obviously in need of a new editor. I then received an email some 4 weeks later advising me that my application had been turned down, however …

I'm having an interesting problem. The form I used to request my reinstatement–when I hit the 'submit' button all it did was refresh the page. I wasn't sure if it went through so I e-mailed Jim and he said there is no pending app. Maybe it's because I am on a Mac? I tried in Firefox and Safari. I can try on a PC tonight, but I'm wondering if anyone else experienced similar issues.

Hello. I applied some weeks ago as an editor for this topic which needs a lot of tender loving care: http://www.dmoz.org/..._Media/Weblogs/ I believe that the username requested on my application was 'dropking' but I'm not positive. If not, the email address used is the same as my patrickm account here which hopefully can be seen by an administrator. Any status update would be appreciated and thanks for your time!

On October 1st I applied to edit http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Consumer_Goods_and_Services/Jewelry/Wholesale_and_Distribution/ with the name hopes I did not check my email and missed the verification until today. I tried to verify but got "Not a valid key." Assuming it expired. Can you tell me whether it's in the system or if I should reapply? I have a copy of my application so either way it's all good. Thanks!

Hi everyone, My application was declined, with the reviewer citing that I could not have more than one ODP account. My original account "greent" was created many years ago and has been left unused for a long time now. The domain name my original email address was based on is no longer controlled by me and there is no way for me to get access to emails sent to that address. Earlier attempts to regain access to my ODP account failed in the past due to the fact that in order to reinstate the account I needed username/password and could not get the password via email. That is why I have not used the account mentioned for a very long time now. I decided to apply for a…

Hi there, I have recently been reinstated as an editor and whilst I can login to edit, I don't seem to be able to login to the editor forum (it's been a while since I volunteered and I need some help from the forum!). When I click on the editor forum link (whilst already logged on) it asks me for my username and password. I re-enter the details but it is says they're invalid. Help! Cheers, Saunders
