Hi!

 

While searching:

 

http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Genres/Environment_and_Nature/

 

I found the following issues I wanted to bring to your attention:

 

 

Timed redirect to a parking page

 

- Web portal featuring on a weekly basis relevant web sites, articles and archive of environmental art, design and architecture.

 

 

Dead Link? I’m not sure how you treat these where there is some type of message that may, or may not be a valid server message.

 

- Earth films and Headwaters Action Video Collective educational video and media project that specializes in environmental and social issue documentaries. Provide news, videos and order information.

 

Hijacked link. Link hijacked to a blog

 

- Charith Pelpola - Explores human existence and the environment through art, photography and literature. Works to increase awareness about the Asian and global environment.

#3196 - http://www.fitness.gov/ is working fine for me.

 

Hmm? With cache disabled, I just tried it again using IEv6 and it's still a dead link. I then tried Firefox and the page loads. Ok. Sorry to bother you with a browser compatibility issue.
