Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here

Oops. Missed the first post (#61085) and did the second one (#61091).

Now my DSL is down and these things have too many pictures to review on a dialup. The last three on dialup took almost as long as the rest of them on DSL. Besides, it's past my bedtime.

More tomorrow if nobody else picks up on these.

Jane,

Thanks for your work - I have corrected the sites you mentioned. I found an alternate URL for the last one. :)

Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here

I have dealt with these sites - some of them I found a replacement for, others are now removed.

Thanks once again, Jane, for your work. It is most definitely appreciated!

For your interest - the Cosign redirect doesn't look like it was deliberate - at the time they had no main index page - as you will see, it is now this one that is listed (without a date), rather than the individual conferences. This is much preferred by us, because it reduces the likelihood of the URL going away in future.

Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here

Re: Cosign, thanks for explaining that. I asked because I wanted to know if I should mention it if I come across it again. I will mention it :D

As long as I'm not putting undue pressure on anyone I'm quite happy to continue to work my way through the directory as my time allows. Some weeks I have lots of time (like the week just gone) and sometimes I don't have any time and you won't see me for a few weeks :D

Thanks
Jane

Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here

Jane, quite the contrary - pointing out stuff like this is a great help to us - you are giving us another set of eyes. As you are seeing, we are very quick to review and make the corrections you suggest - we would rather fix a broken listing than list a new site any day. We definitely believe in quality over quantity!
