    @an0n: I'll check the script lines and see where the problem is coming from, I'll keep you updated :)

    @iceberg: Good point, and I am not sure who else will be running it, but I'll notify Boby to see what he can do, but for now: http://www.dsbl.org/ - Check out their FAQ's, it has some good pointers :)

    EDIT - @romow: image fixed. Thank you :)

    I dont know about Mozilla and Gecko. But if you are still using Firefox 1.5.0.5, update it asap. It has some bugs. I use mainly Firefox, but for checking purpose I use opera and IE too.

    I ran a check on the script and also had a buddy of mine check it also on Mozilla 5.0 and he has the same issue. He also checked it on FF 1.5.0.6 and lower, IE, Netscape, Opera, & Safari.

    Basically all the listed work except the mozilla 5.0 (not sure why)

    OptikPoint would like to thank all of those who submitted to the queue, unfortunately, half only made it through the process, but are still able to try again in 30 days.

    Also, thank you for the reports you provided and taking time to visit OptikPoint, we really appreciate it very much. The queue is clear of submissions (phew) and is open for those who haven't had their site reviewed yet.

    Thank you agai everyone!

    I see that many of the older links have been given a <rel="nofollow"> attribute. Can you tell us why? Is it something that you will be applying to all links later on?

    Can you give me the links in which you found to have nofollow?

    All links that go through the system (Since we've moved to the free market) are set with a link follow for crawling.

    Thank you for reporting this. We were a paid directory and moved permanently to a free and before while being a paid, we offered free listings and forced a nofollow (but this was a small amount of links)

    Thank you again, if you find anymore, please feel free in sending me a PM. I'm currently removing quite a few :)

    If you'd like to take care of all of those links that have been set to a nofollow from earlier on, just simply run a query on your links table and set the nofollow to 0. that will wipe them all out in a single shot and only take about 20 seconds to do ;)

    UPDATE `PLD_LINK` SET `NOFOLLOW` = 0 where `NOFOLLOW` > 1
    ^should do it

    Due to a (servere) overflow of submissions, all links that are submitted to the Top (which means not choosing a placement for your listing) will be removed without any hesitation.

    Thank you to all of those that have been suggesting categories, I really appreciate it, this expands the future submitters choices of where they can place their listing(s).

    Thank you.

    This directory sucks. You dont even know if you have submitted or if you have some fields wrong... I must have hit the submit button 10x before finally closing the window.
