David E Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I just thought I would pop in and say how nice it is to see Dmoz up and running again, I hope in the new year I will be able to submit some new sites.
Meta Eric-the-Bun Posted December 21, 2006 Meta Posted December 21, 2006 Hi David Well we are getting there, but you won't be able to submit sites only suggest them regards Though I am a volunteer editor, my opinions do not constitute an official Curlie statement. :o I reserve the right to be human and make mistakes. :o Private messages asking for submission status or preferential treatment will be ignored.
seantroy Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 DMOZ is up and running again? Not on my end?
Meta pvgool Posted December 21, 2006 Meta Posted December 21, 2006 It is working perfectly except some lesser important features like the ability to suggest sites. See the announcement for more info. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Meta Eric-the-Bun Posted December 21, 2006 Meta Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Sean Check out the announcement thread. Though you cannot suggest or update urls yet we editors can finally edit. This means that the main functionality of DMOZ is up and running - editors can check through for dead links, add sites they find etc etc. It certainly brings home to me how much there is to do that does not involve just listing sites. After two months of non-editing, we editors are obviously overjoyed and have a lot to do (eg explaining to wife why she could do the last xmas shopping on her own whilst I check out a few more categories for dead links ). We understand it is still very frustrating for people who want to suggest their sites and we welcome everyones patience. There are still aspects of the recovery being worked on. As usual we do not have an ETA but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. regards Though I am a volunteer editor, my opinions do not constitute an official Curlie statement. :o I reserve the right to be human and make mistakes. :o Private messages asking for submission status or preferential treatment will be ignored.
Meta hutcheson Posted December 21, 2006 Meta Posted December 21, 2006 I understand it'll take a bigger disaster than last time, and keep on ticking.

Best of luck !!
Meta Eric-the-Bun Posted December 22, 2006 Meta Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks, and with the xmas holidays coming up, barring over-indulgence, we will be off to a good start.

waynet Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'm wondering if the previously suggested URLs that may have been still pending review were wiped out. Was all that data lost or was it recovered? I'd like to know if I should re-suggest any URLs when that feature gets restored.
Meta hutcheson Posted December 22, 2006 Meta Posted December 22, 2006 By the time that feature's been restored, we'll have a better handle on exactly what's been preserved or recovered.
Loco.M Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 how long was it down ? i think some sections have been down longer then others :-/
Meta pvgool Posted December 22, 2006 Meta Posted December 22, 2006 It was down from somwhere end of october (see the announcement for details). The public server was corrected within a few days. The editor server was available beginning this week. Update of public server with changes on editor server is active. Communication from public to editor server is still down. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
rsaluja Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Cannot submit site to dmoz Hi all, I have been trying to submit my site to dmoz for the last 3 weeks but it says 'out of service'. Can anybody help please? rsaluja
Editall/Catmv lmocr Posted December 23, 2006 Editall/Catmv Posted December 23, 2006 Please see the bright red and yellow announcement at the top of this sub-forum.
smaug Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 url suggest etr? I am also glad that dmoz is up, however, I still cannot suggest urls, is there a time frame for the etr? Same for applying for editor of a category. oops sorry, I just read the notice. ignore, ignore, ignore. I'll be patient.
Meta pvgool Posted December 24, 2006 Meta Posted December 24, 2006 See the answer in the post before yours. It has been said many times that we will tell you when things will be available and it has also been said many times that we don't have an estimation when that will be happening. Asking again and again won't change anything. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Meta Eric-the-Bun Posted December 24, 2006 Meta Posted December 24, 2006 Please see the bright red and yellow announcement at the top of this sub-forum to which lmocr was referring to when they said 'Please see the bright red and yellow announcement at the top of this sub-forum' in the post to which you were replying. regards <edited> pvgool was faster - 'Asking again and again won't change anything.' - Our cat goes to a door and asks to be let out. When it is raining, she inspects the outside and decides to come in. She then goes to another door and asks to be let out. She inspects the outside and sees its raining so comes back in. Once she's repeated this process with the other door, the dining room window and both landing windows, she returns to the first door and repeats the process. Eventually it stops raining so it must work.

jimnoble Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Did you ever read that old Robert A Heinlein classic "The Door into Summer". His cat's similar behaviour provided the title. <added> http://www.abebooks.co.uk have a copy for £0.51 . </added>
Nidhi Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 I just thought I would pop in and say how nice it is to see Dmoz up and running again, I hope in the new year I will be able to submit some new sites. Pls guide me as i am new here how and when we can add our ur to the Dmoz as it says the service is unavailable presently...... Best Regards NIDHI
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted December 25, 2006 Editall/Catmv Posted December 25, 2006 I'm afraid that service is presently unavailable. We'll update the announcements when it becomes available.
Wild-Dial Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Glad things are working again, as I'm sure you are judging from the posts. A little late, but hope you guys enjoyed the holidays. Happy Editing!
