Hello,

I have sent an application to become an editor. But when I clicked the link in the email verification for the first time (http://www.dmoz.org/public/verifyemail?key=238f6b48635d745a7a431a8ed8467ae1) it said "Not A Valid Key".


I would like to know if my application was successfully submitted.

Thank you for your help.

That message is only shown when the validation is already done.
You must have clicked the link twice by accident.
I can not chack if we received the application without the needed information (editor name + category + date)
The valiodation key is of no uise for me.
There is no application for an editor with name engmar

I am also having the same issue with the validation key. There is absolutely NO possible way that I clicked on it twice either.

Hmmm. no application visible with that name or category for me.
I'll check the system and ask some questions to our more technical editors.
maybe there is an internal problem causing these invalid keys
I'll let you know as soon as possible. please wait.

I found your editor name in the queue so all is well. Some editor will review your application at some time.
