Hi,

I have exactly the same bug, I'm unable to log in. I tried the password reminder but it doesn't work too. My editor name is didjiridou.

Category : http://dmoz.org/World/Français/Régi...tronomie_et_alimentation/Restaurants_et_bars/

Could you help me please?

Thanks in advance.

Same problem for me. I cannot log in to dmoz.org. It's been a log time since I logged in for the last time, but I received the password via email, so I haven't forgotten it.

Editor-name is heikok.

To reduce the number of inactive editors visible on public pages, the system times out obviously inactive accounts after a few months. You can request reinstatement as an editor using this form.

Password length when applying to be an editor

I am wondering if this relates to problems that some have had with passwords:

When filling in the form to apply to be an editor, it only seems to accept 8 characters - it stops echoing '*'s after the 8th, and when my proposed password didn't contain any non alphabetic characters in the first 8 it complained that I needed non-alpha characters.

So it seems to me that passwords must be exactly 7 or 8 characters for this form to work, and any extra are ignored.

My understanding is that the some of the DMOZ logins require using only the 8 characters (although that's supposed to have been fixed), and some require the full password.

If you are an editor, you might try both.

I am an editor but when I try to access the editors forum I get a 401 message. Is it just me?

The forums work fine for me at the moment. Have you been able to access the forums in the last month or so (i.e. after the crash occurred)?

Yes. The problem started about one week ago.

I don't believe that it is a usual "time out" (see item #10 by windharp) but due to the current server problems we are unfortunately not able to reset your password.
Please watch the announcement at the top of every forum and bump this posting as soon as servers are back.

It looks as though your editor account had already timed out before the system crash. Reinstatement requests aren't possible at the moment. Please watch the announcement thread in this forum which will be updated when the situation changes - and be patient .

No Forum Entry For Me

I was reinstated late this year and have never been able to log into the Editor Forum. Same as everyone else.....type in right information and still won't allow me access. I also tried having the info sent to me via email and was told I don't exist. I have NO problem getting in to edit.

Any chance of some help here?
