The fifth one from the last (http://www.scicop.com/) isn't look like a website and this is redirecting to malibuaquatics which is also inactive.

I am a physical therapist patiently waiting for <url removed> to be listed as it is highly relevant to the following section (I am not holding my breath as this section has not been updated since 2010 - I understand the pressure you are under so this is not a criticism):

Health > conditions and diseases > musculoskeletal disorders > BURSITIS

Whilst perusing this section I came across an incorrect link. Achilles Tendon Bursitis links to a plantar fasciitis page which is not relevant. I think it should link to here:

http://www.merckmanu...n_bursitis.html

Many thanks
Kieran

Item #5070 and 5071 done.


sandiegohaunted, please report only URLs that are effectively listed in the directory and that you can see with your eyes.

Some of your reports are inconsistent and related to URLs that were already removed from the public side by our automated tools months or years ago.

Thanks :)

I think I understand what your saying. The links I found were done using the "search" function which no longer actually works. The results are no longer updated, so it is possible for the link to still exist and not exist at the same time. In the example given above, http://www.dmoz.org/...arachasers.com/ behold there is the link however, if you click on the directory Society: Paranormal: Organizations (null) the link is gone. This seems very self defeating especially for all websites in DMOZ prior to the search function problem. A quick search of google and it is clear this link still links to ODP's directory even though it doesn't exist in the directory.

[Right here]
The search function is updated everyday, the problem is we have a bug which means sites deleted from the directory still show in the search results. The bug appeared when we switched from using the RDF to using a separate search database. Newly listed sites and changed listings are still be updated though. AOL are aware of the problem.
