verification email - not a valid key

jayadi2010 · Apr 17, 2011

Hello, I am a newbie in Dmoz.org, and want to be an editor.
I have submitted as Editor in Dmoz.org, and have received Verification email.
When I click the link in this verification email, the system in Dmoz.org responds "not a valid key"...
What should I do?
Thanks for the answer ....

Regards,

It's almost impossible to help you if you don't tell us your proposed editor name, the requested category and the date you applied. The full text of the error message would also be useful because I've not heard of that one before.

This message normaly means that you clicked the link more than once.
The first time you clicked the link it was verified.
The second time there was no key to verify and this message is displayed.

You probably tried to acknowledge the email verification message twice. Your application is awaiting evaluation.

I am unable to login to my editor account with username "bhawnamittal".

The message displayed is as below:
User needs an email address verification before the user can login.

I have initially received email from DMOZ for verification. But link does not work and displays error "Not a valid key".

Please advice what do i do.

I expect you couldn't log in because there is no editor account with that name.

Please read the earlier posts in this thread which will help you to help us to help you.

You don't have an editor account under that name so of course you can't log in as an editor. Neither can I find any evidence that you've ever applied to become one.

re #9 #10 - I think I found the application (it was reviewed in May last year) - it was rejected with reviewer comments, you should have received a mail.
