Please follow the "wait one month before asking" rule you can find in the forum guidelines.

As mentioned in my earlier post, I had some trouble witth the submission form so I'm not even sure if I am in the queue. It has been 1.5 months since my submission.

I am afraid to re-submit and risk getting sent to the back of the line, but I also don't want to keep waiting if I never made it in the queue.

Can someone please check and make sure I was submitted properly? Many many thanks!

There is a submission from your site in the queue, dated 13th March 2003.

Re: Did I post correctly? Is my site in the queue

I submitted on March 13 and emailed the editor in early June. I have not heard back from the editor. Is it common for an editor to go 4+ months without reviewing his/her queue? Is it also common for them not to respond to a submission follow-up (as long as it is done per the guidelines)?

I know the editors are volunteers and I understand the time commitment. I'm just trying to determine if I should submit to a different editor.

Any suggestions?

(I have not reviewed the site or category)

Assuming you submitted to the correct category in the first place:

If you then submit to a different editor [i.e. category] then that editor will only end up moving the site to the correct category which will then replace the first submission you made.

Re: Did I post correctly? Is my site in the queue

Bobrat gave you some good advice. To answer your other questions (two asked, one unasked):

You asked if it was common for sites to wait a long time. The answer is that it depends. Editors are volunteers, and aren't required to process any particular number of submitted sites in any particular amount of time. Some sites wait for much longer than yours has, and some are accepted within minutes of submission. Unfortunately, we can't tell you how long it will be until your site is reviewed, because we don't know.

You also asked if it is normal for editors not to respond to email. The answer is, most definitely, yes. Editors are absolutely not required to respond to email, and because so many have had bad experiences with email exchanges, very few editors ever reply.

Finally, what you didn't ask directly is the status of your site, but I'll tell you anyhow. :) It is still awaiting review in that category, with fewer than fifty others. When a volunteer editor has the time, your site will be reviewed.

I know it seems like a long time to wait, but many other sites have been waiting much longer. I'm afraid the only suggestion I have for you is to keey waiting, with as much patience as possible. There is nothing you can do to speed your site's review.
