I had a look at http://www.hedir.com/performing-arts.html and found 10 sites listed including:

Muhammad Ali Memorabilia - Muhammad Ali boxing memorabilia and autographs from boxers past and present.

Video Insight : Windows based Digital Video Record - Video Insight is the developer of a Windows based Enterprise DVR Software used for surveillance in the security and CCTV industry. The product replaces the VCR that is traditional used to record CCTV

Groupe SCI - Consulting Services in Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence (BI).

Adler and Manson Law Offices - Missouri personal injury attorneys

AGINSKY CONSULTING GROUP - Your Global P - Aginsky Consulting Group is an internationally recognized, boutique consulting company

I find this baffling - what is going on? I don't think that they were approved for this cat originally.

regards

PS could not find a Quality Control or Help thread

Hedir went through many phases and we are still changing many things. Next month we will be taking a break from development and concentrate on quality control.

Please let us know your suggestion or feedback.

None of those sites were approved for that cat intentionally Smile These sites have all been approved recently (within the last few weeks) and my guess is there is a bug in the code that redirected them out of their submitted cats into this one.

Feel free to post anything you find into the forum so it can be addressed.

Good catch!

I think I found the issue.

When sites are in the Approval/Rejection list, there is an option to change the category they were originally submitted to. THe default in the box is "Performing Arts", and if you just click on the Accept button, the newly-accepted site is moved to Performing Arts.

Attached is a screenshot.

So the form needs to be fixed so it does not automatically move the site.

Hi,

sorry I was busy with some other stuff. I am looking into this problem. writergrrrl I think you are right, the category drop down menu is not working properly. I am correcting this. I will inform you after making it proper.

Regarding the sites listed in wrong directories, I am coordinating with Anthony to shift them in proper directories.

regards,
Josh

Hi,

I have checked the code and modified some part of it. But what I find is something else. Cool

Earlier we used to accept site submission in the top level category. Now we accept sites in second level and deeper level categories only. So when a site (submitted in second or next level) is approved from the approval centre the category drop down shows the selected category. That time site approval and listing in that category works properly. But a site, submitted in top level category has to go in deeper level category at the time of approval, that time the drop down can't find the proper category. Drop down show Performing Art as the category as it's the first category appearing there. So at the time of approval moderators has to be little careful about the category.
As a note to remember : while approving a site, the category appears in the drop down menu is the listing category for the site.

Dear moderators, to help you out in this regards, I have modified the section such that if a site submitted in the top level category, in the approval centre you will get a note written in red color (to catch your attention Laughing ) and by default no category will be selected. I hope this will help you to workout better in this section.

Your comments and suggestions appreciated. Very Happy

Regards,
Josh
