It seems that a few people are having problems with the ODP server timing out when they try to submit their site.
Some technical problems with the directory have resulted in staff temporarily reserving some of the server bandwidth for editors, and limiting the resources available to the public side. Coupled with some processor intensive software work to correct the problem, this has resulted in poor performance to the public.
Unfortunately this means that some people have been unable to submit their sites. I'm afraid there's very little that can be done to assist those people until the technical issues are resolved, and settings go back to normal. We're expecting the current restrictions to last for about 2 weeks.
If you are having problems submitting your site (and not getting a specific error message), please feel free to try several times in the hope that one of them might work. Another idea would be to try at different times of the day as sever loads can vary considerably from hour to hour.
Please do not ask editors to add your sites to the directory. There are hundreds of people getting this sort of error, and if editors were to add every failure manually, they would not be able to get any work done.
If you are unable to get the system to accept your submission after trying several times over several hours, I'm afraid all we can suggest is that you wait until the current restrictions are lifted.
