mandyjb Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I am trying to submit my site to Dmoz, however, after I have completed the submission page, i press the submit button and it keeps returning to the submit page with the words in red 'Please select UK Site'. I cannot find anything on the page to select UK site. Can anyone help me.

AlanJBreeze Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I also tried on 17th May and have just tried again now in hope that bug would have been fixed but it seems that the error message " Please select UK Site " still appears when you try to submit correctly. Does anyone know when this will be fixed to save me coming back and going through the procedure time and time again. Regards, Alan
Meta pvgool Posted May 21, 2011 Meta Posted May 21, 2011 Did you read my previous answer We will post here when the solution is available. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
echwa Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 @pvgool It would be great if you could update this thread with a time frame for the fix to be created and applied. Thanks, Damien
Meta windharp Posted May 25, 2011 Meta Posted May 25, 2011 Sorry to say, but we don't have any timeframe available (yet). Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
echwa Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Sorry to say, but we don't have any timeframe available (yet). Is that to say currently it is not possible to submit UK sites to DMOZ if they have a .co.uk domain name?
jimnoble Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Is that to say currently it is not possible to submit UK sites to DMOZ if they have a .co.uk domain name? Yes. That's what this thread is about.
motsa Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 As has been mentioned already, an editor will post here when there is more news on a fix for this bug.
fazz Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Hi i have tried lots of times to post my website <URL removed> on the open directory project.Europe,United Kingdom,Norfolk,Dereham,Accomodation and every time it says use uk .Please can some one tell me what im doing wrong
jimnoble Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 You're doing nothing wrong. There's a bug. We'll announce here when it's fixed but we don't know when that will be.
jointplan Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Good Morning everyone, I notice this issue has been ongoing since April. I tried to submit a .co.uk site when I put it live on April 16th and had the same error. I thought it was a temporary glitch but since then have been trying at random times to submit sites with no success. Given the level of severity and the important role DMOZ has in the community, can we please have this escalated. I do appreciate we (the general public) won't be privy to the communication but at least, this should have regular updates beyond, "we know it's a problem and we're working on it" I had a look at the communcations on maintenance and there was a "DMOZ Scheduled Maintenance Outage March 11th 2010". Given the proximity of this maintenance slot and the issues being experienced, has this update caused the issue and if it did, what plans are in place to roll back the changes to see the issue resolved and a more appropriate timeframe to review what happened. Many Thanks, Joint Plan <pseudo signature removed>
Meta pvgool Posted June 6, 2011 Meta Posted June 6, 2011 Given the level of severity and the important role DMOZ has in the community, can we please have this escalated 1. what might be the highest severity to you or somebodu else might be a minor problem for others 2. DMOZ does not have an important role in the community (this is just a SEO/Wemasters myth) 3. AOL program managers are aware of the issue, nowhere else to escalate to I do appreciate we (the general public) won't be privy to the communication but at least, this should have regular updates beyond, "we know it's a problem and we're working on it" As DMOZ editors that is all we know and can answer. We (the DMOZ editors) can ot solve this (or any other technical) issue. I had a look at the communcations on maintenance and there was a "DMOZ Scheduled Maintenance Outage March 11th 2010". Given the proximity of this maintenance slot and the issues being experienced, has this update caused the issue and if it did, what plans are in place to roll back the changes to see the issue resolved and a more appropriate timeframe to review what happened. Yes, the latest update (if it was March 11th I do not remember) caused the problem. There will be no roll back. A solution will be implemented in one of the next updates. When that will be is out of our (DMOZ editors) control. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
