There may be a system bug effecting the Suggest URL function. I am not technical enough to try and figure it out, so I have queried the experts.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you for the kind offer! Unfortunately this is not something that we editors or any external person can do anything about - it's the AOL staff who have to fix it. We have been told that they are working on it.

There is no need to report this error any more, since the tech staff are aware of the problem and that it affects the entire directory. Thanks.

I tried to help, but they told me my pliars and screwdriver weren't needed. Quite rude about it, too , I thought.

I'd offer to help, but I suspect that this is one of the few broken things that cannot be fixed with a liberal application of high explosives.

Suggesting a site to the directory works again.
