Unable to change ODP site description

Hello

I am the WebManager for www.barbican.org.uk and I am desperate to change the description of our website as it refers to an association with a company that stopped working with us over than 2 years ago. I have already submitted the CORRECT description a number of times over the last 6 months. How long does it take to change? Is there anyway this can be sped up? Senior managers are not happy....

Thanks for any help

Nicholas

The easiest way to do this is suggest an update with the description being "No longer associated with xxx - please revise. Thank you" And then make sure your website reflects that change of association.

Are you sure about your statement. See http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/City_of_London/Arts_and_Entertainment/

This is very strange when I do a search on Barbican Centre from the search function from the main dmoz.org page the old description comes up:

Concert hall, theatre, cinema and art gallery. London home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and venue for resident orchestra the London Symphony Orchestra.

When I then click into http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/City_of_London/Arts_and_Entertainment/ and do a search the old description comes up again.

However when I click on the open directories link at the top in the page that then comes up and select http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Arts_and_Entertainment/

Do I finally get the correct NEW description.

Have I done something really stupid when submitting the updated description? Or is this a bug related to some problems DMOZ had this and last month? Is there a way to have the same description across the board?

Many thanks for all your replies so far really want to get to the bottom of the problem and find out how to get it right

Thanks

The search uses a cached database and is showing results from before the crash last October (see the date at the bottom of its page). It will be updated in time but we can't predict when.
