I think I may be experiencing that AWOL-ness that jimnoble is referring to (or possibly a completely different type of AWOL-ness): see http://motsa.com/ODP/temp1.jpg (white text on white background in search results so that I have to highlight everything to read it) and http://motsa.com/ODP/temp2.jpg (big empty white box on main page) .

Heh, no you just caught the site going through a complete over haul. We redesigned the interface completely so a lot of data has still yet to be added back. We figured we would chage our look after our one year anniversary. Every thing should be back within the week. Initially we were going to wait to do the update, so that the editors here could see the old site, but we had to do what was best for the site. I hope this does not count against us. As you can see our forum has grow tremendously and our company list is reaching 200 designers.

well, given that there is a massive amount of randomness in when a reviewing editor might review the site, you may or may not be OK. There always exists the possibility that the reviewing editor will catch it with its content missing, in which the editor may skip it, may park it someplace for future review, or may just kill the whole thing off.

If I can make a personal suggestion: put all your future site updates out of sight until they are working, then do the live update in a matter of minutes. It can be highly risky to do site development on a live site.

I agree, but it is hard to do this with a schedual like mine. I moderate many forums, work, and do freelance on the side. This site is just my passion, so I need to do what I can when I can. The update should be complete and the site has more then enough content for the editors to see. I hope you guys like it. Sorry for all the confusion.
