Hello,
I have listed my retail furniture site and appreciate the ODP is a volunteer run organisation, so timecales are not possible to know etc. I've also read Jim's comments below
"You might have misunderstood our objectives and how we operate here. ODP is a volunteer organisation building a directory as a hobby. Editors edit where they wish, when they wish and as much as they wish within the constraints of their permissions. We have no schedules or systems to force people to do work that they don't volunteer to do. ODP is not primarily a free listing service for website owners and it does not attempt to process their listing suggestions within the time scales desired by them.
Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one."
I was just wondering if there was anyway of knowing if your site had been rejected, or if it had just not yet been looked at? I believe contact between the editors and people doing the submitting is not recommended. If your site has been rejected for whatever reason is that it, or is there anthing you can do after that?
In my case it has only been a few weeks, so I'm not overly worried, I was just wanting to know for furture reference, thats all.
