Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...and_Economy/Real_Estate/Residential/Agencies/

I encountered the following issues I wanted to bring to your attention:

Unable to View. Perhaps I need to tweek a few settings on my new PC but I can't view this site from Firefox/Opera/IE7.

Century 21 1st Place - Provides complete source of real estate information for the Boise metropolitan area.​


Hijacked Link. Hijacked to a pay-per-click site. In an attempt to disguise it's true purpose, the site provides generic yet useless text in-between the pay-per-click ads. The pages don't render properly either.

McLeod Realty - A full service realty in Boise, ID.​

Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...siness_and_Economy/Marine_Sales_and_Services/

I encountered the following issue I wanted to bring to your attention:


Incorrect Category. Current category is marine products but I suspect this is better located in "Business to Business" as the subject docks appear to be warehouse loading docks rather than boat docks.

Xtreme-Needs - Sells dock bumpers. Product information and online ordering.​

Is this ok or, do you prefer that all new Urls be provided?
Click to expand...
Having new URLs provided (especially for those sometimes difficult to locate school websites) is a bonus for us, and certainly not a necessity on your part.

We just appreciate all of your help. The care that you take in formatting requests and the extra information that is sometimes provided, makes processing them an easy task :)
