Hello, I am receiving the following error when attempting to submit a site: "Not a valid IP address pattern in ip"

Could anyone explain what this error means, and/or whether there is something I can do to remedy the problem. I have searched for information regarding this topic and seen that in the past "jimnoble" has asked to be PMed the submission data, but I did not wish to presume by sending a PM without invitation.

In addition to the problem above, I have a question on one of the bullet points from the "How to suggest a site to the Open Directory" page, which reads: "Do not submit any site with an address that redirects to another address."

The top-level page of the website I wish to submit resides at a URL such as this: <url removed>, however we have a redirect set up such that going to the following URL will send the visitor to the top-level page:<url removed>

Based on the bullet point, I have decided to follow the instructions to the letter and used the long-form version. Is that the preferred URL to submit?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

AOL are aware of the problem and will no doubt fix it in time. Meanwhile, I suggest that you try again from a different IP address or use proxy.

Suggesting the root URL is best. We ignore internal redirects because they change all too often.
