Re: Member to Editor Ok - I also added the Adult forum as you requested in the other thread <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

You're a funny guy John <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> And thanks for the heads-up. If one of the eager beaver cleaners who frequents this forum hasn't already looked at the situation with this one, I'll be taking a look at it myself later.

These Web Design and Development cats can be a bit tricky sometimes. We actually reorganized the whole Designers area last year to make it a bit easier for users to find what they were looking for and to give new editors a chance to get into them, but for the most part a lot of them are still too big for new editors (not this one in particular even though there are actually more than 40 waiting for review now <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> ). I'm sure there are other Freelance/F sites out there, and the information that you've been given above will probably do the trick. But if your sole motivation for taking on this category is so that you can get your site listed, that might be coming across in your application (I haven't seen your app and it's not archived anywhere). We don't have a problem with people applying to edit the category where their site will be listed (I did that when I applied), but you really do need to make sure that it is clear that this is not your primary reason for taking on a particular category. I have actually seen applications that blatantly state that the person is only interested in taking on the category so that they can get their own site listed. Even if there is just a hint of this in an application, I can imagine a reviewer saying "Hmmm, looks like they only want to add their own site. Why should I bother with this one? They'll add one site and never come back." That would be frustrating to say the least <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> If you truely want to be part of the ODP, and not just to get your own site listed, then I would probably take option 3 from above in one of the posts there and apply for another category where you may have some interest or experience. That way you gain some experience in how things work, and you can eventually take on the other categories where you have interests. This will all be moot though if you reapply with some good examples for Freelance/F and a clear indication of intent <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: i reply to email and says no validation code f Try submitting a new application and see what happens.

I should have asked this before. Did you reply to that confirmation email? You must reply to the confirmation email so that your application will be moved into the queue. That email confirms to us that you submitted an application using a valid email address and that you are the person who submitted the application.

I'm not seeing any applications for that category. Did you receive the confirmation email after you submitted your application?

You did indeed use jdahling, and the application is still waiting for review. I can't tell you much more than that. It'll be reviewed when someone gets a chance to review it <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

You're added <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Status is changed <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Not maintenance but there is a known problem accessing http://dmoz.org at the moment. Staff is aware of the situation and is working on it.

There are no applications in the queue for either ogge or anything under World: Svenska. Did you receive and reply to the confirmation email? If so, then it looks like you application may have been rejected. We do not keep records of rejected applications so I cannot tell you for sure if that is the case.

I think it's so that those of us in Canada can't find info about shows like Queer As Folk a few weeks before it airs on Showcase.ca - I've always thought that this was a totally weird situation <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

globalinsites and swordfighter you both now have access to the Adult forum <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Welcome swordfighter <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

ah yes - now that I see the URL, I see that it is waiting for review, just not where I expected it to be. Good thing motsa was paying attention <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Are you sure that this was the category that you submitted to? I'm not seeing anything in the queue for that category. The lack of an editor in any particular category should never be a cause for concern. There are hundreds of editors who could potentially be editing in that category. All editors higher up in the hierarchy can edit there and all editors with directory wide permissions can edit there.

Your application is still there waiting to be reviewed <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

You should now be able to access the Adult forum <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

What about Business: Business Services: Supplies and Equipment?

It's nice to see when people can answer their own questions <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

You'll have to go to the category and click on the 'Update URL' link to request an update to your listing.

I'm sorry to say that I'm not seeing an application in the queue for that category, so as you suspect it probably didn't go through <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> I hope you kept a copy of the information you used in your application so save you some time when you re-apply. Darn system!

To build the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. But that doesn't mean that we are going to list every site in the world. We appreciate that people help out by submitting their web site for inclusion in the project. But we're not sitting around waiting for people to submit their web site. Part of an eitor's responsibilities is to go out and find those quality web sites to add to the directory.
