Hello fruitloops101, Please do not submit a new application for editor. Instead, use the Reinstate Request Form as well as your original ID of fruitloops101 as you have used in this forum. Someone will then consider your request for reinstatement. Editors who have been accepted previously should only use this means of re-gaining editorship rather than applying for a new editor ID, as more than one ID is not acceptable. Here is the url: http://dmoz.org/reinstate.html Note that you *may* experience some problems using the url while ODP is experiencing technical difficulties. If at first you don't succeed try again a few minutes later, or the following day. I hope this helps. Good luck. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

cbowar, now changed to Meta status. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

bseed, your status is now changed to editor. Thanks. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hello berberber, I've changed your status to Editor now. You should be able to access the Editor Lounge of RZ now where editors are discussing their ODP login problems here . I have also reset your password which 'may' get you back to your dashboard. It is working for some editors, not for others. This seems to be happening to all editor names A through C. HTH. <img src="/images/icons/cool.gif" alt="" />

If additional discussion is warranted, please continue in the original thread opened for that purpose. Thank you. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Disregard above post asking for both aja and cats to be changed to editor status. It's been taken care of. Thanks.

Hello cats, You are now indicated as editor. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Please change aja from member to editor when possible. http://dmoz.org:8080/editors/profile.cgi?editor=aja http://www.resource-zone.com/showprofile.php?Cat=&User=aja Also, please change editor "cats" http://www.resource-zone.com/showprofile.php?Cat=&User=cats http://dmoz.org:8080/editors/profile.cgi?editor=cats Thank you. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

tuisp, it isn't working currently for me. 5:09 PM Central Time. I can't even get the main page at http://dmoz.org/ OTOH, if it fixes things for it to be down for a while, then this is *good*. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

etadich, The Open Directory site is down currently for maintenance, thus editors do not have the ability to login to check status. Someone will post here when we're able to login again. Thanks for your patience, <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: CHANGE OF DIRECTORY FOR MY SITE Hi, The directory has been down for maintenance today. Whenever we are able to connect again, someone will be available to check. Thanks for your patience. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yjsync, the directory will be offline most of today for maintenance. You may wish to compile your information for the application in a word document, then wait until later this evening or tomorrow to submit. Make sure any sites that you recommend do not have a focus on affiliate advertisement. Good luck. <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

Jjsync, please don't become discouraged. Here are a few things to consider: *** What size category did you apply to edit? A category for a new editor should generally be approximately 100 or less sites. *** The problem may be with the category you are applying to edit. There are some categories within the directory which are a bit harder to be accepted into due to subject or services. *** You may wish to choose a different, smaller category to begin as an editor. After being accepted and working on your first category, you may then apply for a new category if your edits are within the guidelines. *** Look over the Open Directory Guidelines with regard to appropriate titles and descriptions before completing your next application. Here is the link: http://dmoz.org/guidelines/describing.html If you prefer not to leave the category name you are applying to edit on this board, you can leave it in PM for me if you like. If you have any questions regarding completing the application, please feel free to ask. We'll do the best we can to help. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> Best regards, odpeditor_dollsntoys@yahoo.com

<img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Leighton, hello! Just a word of caution, please don't believe everything you hear in those groups. When in doubt, ask here at the Resource Zone as this forum is "Sponsored and Moderated by ODP Editors". <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> Best Regards and thanks for dropping by,

Yjsync, what username did you use, and which category did you apply to edit? This helps us in checking the queue. Good luck! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Leighton, it appears the site is listed now in this category: http://dmoz.org/Recreation/Collecting/Toys/Games/Marbles/ <added: I see the editor above gave you the information on the site listing. </added> You also stated: Sending a friendly e-mail to an editor isn't taboo, although you may wish to wait a few weeks after a submission before you ask for status. OTOH, since the Resource Zone forum is now available, submitters will probably get a faster answer here. I hope this helps. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

If you are attempting to reach DMOZ today, the site is again down for an unknown time. You might wish to visit the Member Lounge while you're waiting. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

We are unable to check the status presently. The ODP site is down today and was down a day last week as well. Thank you for your patience. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Memetic, Editors make decisions related to where a site is best placed or whether it should be placed at all, after viewing the site in question. To ask us these questions without revealing the url serves no purpose. If you will share the site urls and the category to which you added them, we will be able to answer your questions more definitively. Thanks for understanding. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

msdetta, You stated: It seems you are an editor for ODP now, congratulations! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> BTW, if you find many sites related to "book-a-holics", be sure and save them in your ODP bookmarks category. Who knows! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> http://dmoz.org/editors/profile.cgi?editor=msdetta See you at ODP! <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hi MsDetta, it looks like the graphic picture or logo on your profile is not working as well. Hope this helps.

MsDetta, how long has it been since you submitted the site? Please provide the url and the name of the category to which you submitted the site. One of us can then verify if it is indeed in the queue waiting to be listed. If it is not in the queue, we can then let you know to re-submit. I hope this helps. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: www.manicmailer.com (reply) The Open Directory provides a new update twice a week normally. It is up to each search engine or directory as to when they update. You may wish to check with each directory or search engine as to their schedule on receiving new updates from ODP. Thank you, dollsntoys Volunteer Meta Editor <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

You're quite welcome <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thank you for visiting.
