Error
There was a problem with your form:
This ODP login has been inactivated.

I guess they don't like me anymore.

go to the resouce-zone.com and ask them (DMOZ/ODP forum).

I've heard people discuss this a lot - In fact the login for one of my partners went out and there wasn't any e-mail to the editor advising of anything. :(

This happened to me months ago, and I never was able to get it resolved. I think it was due to inactivity, though I never did find out for sure.

Honestly, I've given up on ODP... they obviously don't need my help or they wouldn't have inactivated my account and left my emails requesting turning my account back on unanswered...

The reinstate link was created just for you both! No matter what happened in the past w.r.t. contcting staff, trust me that this method for asking about reactivating your login goes straight to the meta-editors for review.

But you weren't actually helping, were you?

Quadrille,

Not a bad point.

I was the only editor in a couple very low traffic non-profit regional categories. I would log in occasionally to see if anyone submitted a new site...

I moved and didn't get a chance to log in for some period of time...

Editors' logins are automatically inactivated by the internal software after 4 months of no editing for active editors, or after 1 month with no editing for newly accepted editors.

Most "what happened to my account?" problems are easily resolved following the link provided by kctipton. If you have a straight editing record and no abuse was committed, you will be reinstated as soon aa a meta-editor reviews your reinstatement request. The queue is very short, just be patient a couple of days.

kctipton & ettore,

Thanks!

You were right, just a couple days and I am now able to log in again.
