Items 3503 and 3505 may still be open. Needs checking, and post numbers may have changed.

Items 3521 and 3522 are probably still open. These may take some work, the formatting of them isn't very friendly.

Other than those, I believe items up to and including 3576 are done. If any have been missed, please post again.

#3503 – Done
#3505 – Done

@ aaleksanyants – 100apps.com is a hijack. I don’t find that it was ever listed in the directory, but possibly it is redirecting from another listing. Where is the listing you are referencing (title-category-listed URL)?

Software/Directories is a general category software products/sites that offer a large mix and would not easily fit into a more defined subcategory. The Software/Shareware/Directories category is specific to Shareware (so the majority of products/sites listed should be for shareware). I found a couple duplicates between the two, but not “lots”. Also, from what I can see, submissions are accepted into both categories.

#3521 – Done by another editor
#3522 – Done by another editor

Thanks :)

#3577 and forward still appear to be open.

#3587 – Done. The site was in the correct category, as the photography studio is located in Shelley. I rewrote description for clarification and took out Montana reference.

Follow Up on Changed URL's

Finding those URL's was sufficiently painful for me that I didn't want to put an editor through similar pain so, I provided the URL's.

In general. when encountering site's whose URL's have changed, if a link to the new URL is obviously located on a landing page, I just make mention of it since an editor can easily copy it while clicking through the link to verify the URL has in fact changed and that the new URL is the same site, just at a different address.

Is this ok or, do you prefer that all new URL's be provided?
