    just trying my hands on few free directories and found some pharmacy categories on
    http://www.ewebdir.com/submit.php
    (browse the drop down menu :eek: )

    But when I manually browse the categories from homepage, I found none of those **gra categories. phpLD bug ? OR its only me who is seeing this :confused:

    It looks a little messy, to say the least. :)

    the drop down box on the submit page shows such categories. but none on the main/subpages when we browse the directory. :confused:

    I guess it could be mildly compared to how some sites show the search engine spiders one thing but theres something completely different beneath the surface.

    It's unmanaged and unfiltered, and worst of all they don't use captcha to protect anything. I just added the word boobie, (didn't want to say a rude word) it's accepted it straight away. This is exactly the type of directory bringing our industry to shame.

    If anyone knows who the owner is, let me know so that I can buy it from him and clean up that directory a bit.

    they have an add category link which lets the user add a category which shows only in the category list when submitting so you can suggest a category and submit your site to it
    just means the webmaster hasnt approved the cats
    and hopefully wont either :)

    It hasn't been hacked it's just not set up to protect itself, read my thread above, I posted using their form and I'm no hacker. The suggest category doesn't have a captcha on it, and automatically accepts suggestions which is a stupid thing to do.

    They don't seem bothered by it so why should we?
