I submitted 3 weeks ago, but I received several errors while trying to do so. I just wanted to make sure that my submission got through.

Submitted to what category? Please provide a clickable link as described in the thread above titled "READ BEFORE POSTING".

Sorry, but it isn't in that category. If you are sure that was where you submitted, I would submit again. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> On the bright side, it is good you checked.

I just tried about 5 times, and I got the same error I got 3 weeks ago although I eventually did get a confirmation page. Here is the error I am getting.

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@dmoz.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log

Well after about 100 attempts (literally). I finally got a a Submission Received page. Did that one make it, and if so how long should I wait to check back on status?

thanks

Oh my! This time it looks like 15-20 made it through....you can stop submitting now!!! <img src="/images/icons/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I'll delete all but one. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> The cat itself is pretty backed up, so it will likely be awhile before your site is reviewed.

I did the same thing last time so is it possible that my submission was just deleted b/c so many entries got through?

No, because I looked at the editor notes and no submissions for that site were ever deleted. It is possible I imagine that you got snagged by the spam filter last time and it is sitting in a manual category waiting to be moved. That is the only way it could still be pending. Otherwise, it is just due to the errors we have been encountering. Pretty soon the upgrade will be done and things will be easier.

I will also mention that when I deleted the duplicates I made a note that it wasn't spam and that the large number of submissions were due to a submitting error. I definately left one, also, so no need for concern. <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ok thanks again for your help, and should I wait 1 month to check on the status?

I would give it 2 or three, there are close to 200 sites in that category waiting to be reviewed so it will likely be awhile.

Your site is still waiting for review, and the heap of sites doing the same in the same category is still large. I'm sorry not to have better news. But feel free two check back after another month or two.

In the mean, you may also submit your site to Regional: North America: United States: Texas: Localities: G: Graham: Business and Economy. Your site might be listed in both categories in the end, and this category isn't backlogged at all.

Yours,
Robert

It is still waiting. Did you take the advice of submitting to the appropriate Regional category as well? You can be listed in both places and the Regional category submission likely would be processed faster due to the backlog in the category you are currently waiting in.

Any idea of the timeline or when I should check back? Should I try to contact the editor?
