Status of http://www.pherone.com submission

pherone · Sep 12, 2003

Hello,

I am not certain that my submission for http://www.pherone.com actually worked, because the submission form pages have consistently timed out when I've tried to submit.

I attempted to submit to this category: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/Fragrances/Cologne/

and may also have tried to submit to this category:
http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/Fragrances/

I'm not sure if either of them were successfully submitted.

Thanks for any help.

The submission was not received. Please choose the one category that best describes what you offer and try again.

Thanks for checking.

Do you have any suggestions on how to get the submission to work? I have tried it multiple times over the last few weeks and it times out every time.

I have tried with Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla 1.4. My internet connection is a DSL.

Is there any alternative way to submit, or is this a problem that's known and being addressed, or what do you recommend?

Thanks again.

It is a known issue right now.

Try using a computer at another location to submit.

Thanks for the reply.

I notice that in the thread listed it says that the system is overloaded. I wonder if Google or Lycos or one of the other commercial entities who uses DMOZ data could be asked to contribute more compute power and network bandwidth (as a voluntary donation).

It seems that many companies get great benefit from DMOZ and would get even more benefit if the system worked better, so perhaps they would be willing to make contributions which would help make it run better.

We just splitted the system on many new servers, that is not the problem.
But as usual in the computer business, such changes need a lot of time till everything works fine, the software is adapted, you tried some concept how to use your new power and so on. I am sure that, after the initial problems have been solved, all will become better.

Until this is fixed, how can I submit a URL?

I just tried with a system on an entirely different network, and it also timed out.

Is there any alternative way a URL can be submitted?

The category again is: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/Fragrances/

Thanks again.

windharp · Sep 12, 2003

There is no other way. Either try or wait.

jswafford · Sep 12, 2003

[Whoops... guess I was slower than windharp]

I added your site manually to the queue, although there is no guarantee that it will be listed.

Hi again,

Any update on status?

Thanks!

jswafford · Oct 22, 2003

Still waiting for review in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/Fragrances

pherone · Oct 22, 2003

Thanks for the reply.

Is that category actively edited? Is my site behind 500 others? What do you think is the likely time until it gets reviewed?

Sorry for all the questions. I just want to get some idea of what to expect.

Thanks again!

There are more than two hundred sites waiting for review, so it might in fact take some time.

By the way, have you seen the specialised Pheromones category? Shopping: Health: Reproduction and Sexuality: Aphrodisiacs: Pheromones

Hello,

I took your advice and posted in that category a month or so ago.

Any word on where www.pherone.com stands now and on the prospects for getting listed soon in any category?

Thanks!

thehelper · Nov 22, 2003

Your site is still awaiting review. Good news is that it looks like someone broke loose on the unreviewed queue in that category as it has become one third of what it was.

pherone · Nov 22, 2003

Thanks for checking.

Which category was that? Is it waiting in both categories or only the latter?

Could you give me an idea of how many are in the queue before us?

Thanks again!

thehelper · Nov 22, 2003

I only checked Shopping: Health: Reproduction and Sexuality: Aphrodisiacs: Pheromones - You will not be listed in both catgories. Shopping sites only get listed once in Shopping. When you ask for a status request in the future make sure your most recent post has clickable links to any category that you want checked. Thanks - just makes it easier.

pherone · Dec 22, 2003

Hello, I'm hoping someone can update me on the status of www.pherone.com, which was submitted in the following categories.

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Beauty/Fragrances/
http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Reproduction_and_Sexuality/Aphrodisiacs/Pheromones/
and
http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/North_Carolina/Localities/W/Wilson/Business_and_Economy/

Thanks a lot!

thehelper · Dec 22, 2003

It is currently awaiting review in

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Reproduction_and_Sexuality/Aphrodisiacs/Pheromones/

all other submissions have been deleted. The Regional listing was rejected because you appear to be an online retailer with no storefront.

pherone · Dec 22, 2003

Thanks.

What's the length of the queue in that category? Any guesstimate as to how long it might be before the listing is considered?

Thanks again
