Re: Dead Links- Report Here ONLY

Thanks for the report on the communism dead links but giving the url of the site really does not help us find those links in the category. It would be much easier for us if you also included the title of the site so we could easily find the listing.

Re: Dead Links- Report Here ONLY

Thanks for the dead links report - they have been taken care of.

Re: Dead Links- Report Here ONLY

People, PLEASE give the site title -- given that, we can look up the URL! Given the URL and no title, we have to mouse-over every link.

Re: Dead Links- Report Here ONLY

Commies and their safe houses both blown away.

Thanks again, and I know you're trying to be helpful by giving the URL, but the category name/site title combo saves us just a bit more time.

[Sorry for the repetition: not meaning to rub it in--I responded before seeing thehelper's comment, but after spending several minutes doing the dastardly deeds on the dead URLs.]

Re: Dead Links- Report Here ONLY

The following site has closed down:

URL:
http://www.bookshop.co.uk/

TITLE:
Internet Bookshop

Category:
http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Business_and_Economy/Shopping/Publications/Books/

Now just redirects to the following URL of a site which is listed elsewhere at DMOZ:
http://www.whsmith.co.uk/whs/go.asp?Menu=Books&pagedef=/books/home/ibs.htm

I reported this several months ago, but it's still there.

Merry Xmas to everyone

Following sites are used to promote porn content:
http://tibet.lexico.cz/ listed as "Tibet a životní prost&#345;edí" in http://dmoz.org/World/Czech/Veda/Zivotni_prostredi/ - links to porn sites are on the bottom of the page with white font on white background, but if you don't use on page setup you will see them clearly (or just press Ctrl+A to see them)
Other sites using the same system:
http://jahody.lexico.cz/ listed as "Jahody od A do Z" in http://dmoz.org/World/Czech/Domov/Zahrada/
http://tomel.lexico.cz/ listed as "Tomel - Diospyros kaki" in http://dmoz.org/World/Czech/Domov/Zahrada/

http://www.lexico.cz/vbs-script/ listed as "Visual Basic Script" in http://dmoz.org/World/Czech/Pocitace/Programovani/

Should be enough for now, seem to be all from one guy imho.

Re: Dead link

If you could use the format you see two posts above yours it would be a really big help.

With some searching, I was able to find and remove everything but the tripod.lycos.de page. Thank you!

Now, if you could tell us the category, title and url (not the url of the 404 page) for that one I didn't find ...

Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here

Arubalisa, could I ask you to give us dmoz categories for these rather than Google directory categories? There are two reasons for this request. First, to check these out knowing only the Google category we'd have to manually convert each one to the corresponding dmoz category. Second, some of them may already have been fixed in dmoz since Google last took an update.

Teamfocus, done and thanks. Much appreciated.
