andi1275 Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 Hello Not sure of the exact date of submission of this site, but I'm pretty sure it was over a month ago. The site http://www.deskmatic.com was submitted to the category http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Disabilities/Assistive_Technology/Ergonomic_Equipment/. Any information kindly received. Andi
lachenm Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 It is not in the unreviewed pool there. I also don't see any evidence that it has been reviewed by an editor, moved, or deleted. As a result, I assume that you either submitted somewhere else, or the submission did not get through. Before you resubmit, I have one question and one observation. The question: Is this the main site for your company? Generally, we do not list product-specific subsites of companies, although there are some occasional exceptions. The observation: In any case, this would not be the correct category for this site. To be listed in Shopping/ there would have to be price and ordering information, and I don't see any. To be honest, I'm not particularly certain where this site would fit, and I'm not going to look too hard when I don't know if it is just a product-specific subsite. My guess is that it, if listable, would probably belong in a subcat of: http://dmoz.org/Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Disability/
andi1275 Posted June 11, 2003 Author Posted June 11, 2003 Hi The site http://www.deskmatic.com is the main site for "Harbourne Ergonomic Products" which is a division of the Harbourne Design Group. Would this cause any problems? If not, I will submit it to the following category - http://dmoz.org/Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Disability/Seating_and_Positioning_Aids/ Cheers Andi
andi1275 Posted July 11, 2003 Author Posted July 11, 2003 Hi I submitted again to the category suggested. Is there any chance of an update? Cheers - Andi
andi1275 Posted July 11, 2003 Author Posted July 11, 2003 Sorry !! it was submitted to http://dmoz.org/Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Disability/Seating_and_Positioning_Aids/
lachenm Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 It's not waiting there, nor do I see any evidence that it was moved or deleted. When you submitted, did you receive an error message (e.g. 500 Internal Server Error), or a message about your submission being caught by our spam filters (e.g. "Could not determine your IP address")? Due to hardware problems many submitters have recently received "500 Internal Server Errors" when trying to submit; if you got one of these, the submission was not received, and I suggest resubmitting. If, on the other hand, you got the message about your IP address, your submission will be sorted to the correct category, and there is no need to resubmit.
bobrat Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Just wondering [from an editors point of view], since the two companies are effectively different, one is marketing a workstation, and one is a general manufacturing company, it would seem that it would perfectly reasonable to have a separate listing in ODP for www.harbournedesign.demon.co.uk under some totally different category, if they wanted to do that. However, it they started manufacturing another appliance, and set up a separate web site for that, then maybe there would be a problem.
andi1275 Posted July 18, 2003 Author Posted July 18, 2003 Firstly.... No error was given on the submission if my memory serves me correctly. No IP or Error 500. What to do next? another submission? Secondly... With regards http://www.harbournedesign.demon.co.uk/ As pointed out - this is just the info about the company, and not the product they produce. So a listing in the category http://dmoz.org/Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Disability/Seating_and_Positioning_Aids/ would be ok... am i correct?
andi1275 Posted August 19, 2003 Author Posted August 19, 2003 I have just submitted again the url Deksmatic to http://dmoz.org/Business/Healthcare/Products_and_Services/Disability/Seating_and_Positioning_Aids/. I am aware that if I had submitted earlier to this category, this submission would overwrite it, but could you confirm that the site is now waiting for review in this category? Much appreciated.
uzs980 Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 No, you haven't submitted http://www.deskmatic.com/ - the URL you've suggested was http://www.deksmatic.com/ instead. I have just corrected your submission of today. No need to resubmit any more. Yours, Robert
andi1275 Posted September 22, 2003 Author Posted September 22, 2003 Hello Cheers for fixing my "error" last month :o Any news on the status? Regards Andi
lachenm Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Your site is awaiting review with fewer than a dozen others. Please feel free to request another status update after at least a month.
andi1275 Posted November 5, 2003 Author Posted November 5, 2003 Hi I noticed that the last update on the category was Sunday, October 26, 2003. Just wondering if the site had been added, but not showing on the public servers yet? If not, any update would be grateful! Cheers Andi
