What can I do? Hello, I noticed this is one of the longest threads in this forum. Is there anything I can do to help resolve my issue and get the placement of my site among the other industrial designers? After such a long time, I'm willing to consider broad options. Thanks, Jeff Mowry

arubin, Thanks for the quick reply. At this rate, we've been waiting on this update for almost a year. What would you recommend we do? Waiting longer is OK, I suppose, but it seems a strange option for such an ambitious project (DMOZ). Need more editors? I'd like to clear this up soon, if possible. Anything I can do? Thanks for being an editor! Jeff Mowry

Hello, Well, it's been a tad over six months and our site has since adopted a new look. Any news on the category update? Merry Christmas! Jeff Mowry

Update status check Hello, Since it's been about 30 days since our last inquiry, I'm scheduled to post again to see if there has been any progress with our listing update. Any news thus far? I appreciate your help. Jeff Mowry

Thanks OK, we'll check back in about a month. Much grass, Jeff Mowry

Update status for industrialdesignhaus.com Hello, We submitted a site update request on 08 April and would like to check the status of the update. The details are below. (Yes, we used the "Update Listing" tool in the category we would like.) Thanks, Jeff Mowry ______________________________________________ http://www.industrialdesignhaus.com Description: Award-winning industrial design firm focusing on ergonomic human interfaces, parametric SolidWorks modeling, and manufacturing engineering. Last year we grew from a sole proprietorship to an LLC, reformatted our web site, picked up some design awards, and began gaining industry recognition. We would like to update our description and move from our existing category: http://dmoz.org/Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Consulting/Design/ to: http://dmoz.org/Business/Business_Services/Design/Industrial_Designers/ This is because we feel this is a better classification of who we are as an industrial design firm, since we better fit the profile of industrial designers than that of engineers. Thanks, Jeff Mowry Industrial Designhaus, LLC

Thanks for the update help. We'll check it out in a couple of days and resubmit for a category change again at that time. Jeff Mowry

Just checking on any progress. The redirect seems to work well. We plan to stop funding the old site after this quarter, so would like to get the update in place by then if possible. Any news? By the way, I like the new format. Took me a while to find things, but I think it's quicker now. Thanks, Jeff Mowry

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com By the way, thanks for letting us know about the Google penalty/mirror thing. We got the 301 redirect rolling last week and it automatically brings users to our new page. Any news on the update? I still see our old site linked at the old location. Thanks for your help. Jeff Mowry

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com OK, we got the redirect in place (finally). We had it, but then it didn't work. Turned out we had to change the name with the FTP client, since Windows named the file ".htaccess.txt", which doesn't work. Anyway, thanks so much for your help--it goes with your name. Thanks to totalXSive, too. Jeff Mowry

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Thanks for your help. I didn't think our current page is a mirror since all the links point to our updated site, but otherwise the content on the first page is almost identical. Thanks for letting us know that can be a problem. I've seen some redirects that automatically redirect (using Java), but have a message page for a few seconds before doing so. Is this something that would qualify? If so, we can get that completed today or Monday and we'll be on our way. Thank you very much for your help. Jeff Mowry

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Anyone?

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Looks like we're still pending. Any news on the update? Thanks, Jeff Mowry

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com OK, we resubmitted. Please let me know if our submission doesn't appear. Thanks, Jeff Mowry

Re: Update for designhaus-i-d.com Thanks for the quick reply. We'll resubmit. By the way, please let me know if you think there is a problem with our method of requesting an update with a change in category like we did last time. (Otherwise, we'll request an update with category change like last time.) Thanks again, Jeff Mowry
