I’ve just checked and in what regards me everything is fine with my place in the directory and with my profile. Anyway, I believe this problem should be submitted to Proz staff as a support request.

P.S. I see the links correctly as Samuel and Elena.

Thanks Elena, but I've not changed anything.
Same problem with Firefox, Chrome, etc.

I see the links correctly as Samuel. Have you tried from another browser? It could be an issue due to your browser's cookies/cache.

So this should work. However I have not been among "featured translators" for over two years, disappointing

URLs Feb 26, 2021

I've checked out the URLs, too, and only get the correct results when I'm not logged in to proz.com.
As soon as I log in, the list changes and I get the non-member list, even though at the top it reads
Results (408): 407 members | 1 non-members

I've tried three browsers and they all do the same.

Curiously Feb 26, 2021

Curiously, today I get the results that the OP were talking about -- "Results (408): 407 members | 1 non-members" for the one and "Results (1266): 1265 members | 1 non-members" for the other.

I'm able to get my original results in the first search by changing the criteria from "among top 3 pairs" to "among top 8 pairs", but no amount of fiddling with the settings gets me my original results for the second search. The URLs provided by the OP in her first post clearly has "pair_empha

I'm able to get my original results in the first search by changing the criteria from "among top 3 pairs" to "among top 8 pairs", but no amount of fiddling with the settings gets me my original results for the second search. The URLs provided by the OP in her first post clearly has "pair_emphasis=3".

The odd thing with the first search is that the OP was on top in my original results (and the results show "407 members") but the OP is nowhere to be found in the results today (even though the results still show "407 members").

German to Italian is the OP's top pair, and if I limit the search to "top pair" or "among top 8 pairs", she's comes out on top, but if I select "among top 3 pairs", she disappears from the list, even though she has more KudoZ points than any of the other members and should appear at the top. The only thing I can think of is that ProZ.com must be applying some other criteria than just the KudoZ score. And this is disadvantageous to the OP, because I suspect that "among top 3 pairs" is the option that most clients use.

Proz Staff ... please change : Inclusive-format topic >> Standard format topic


You can ask the moderator to change it (if he's not too busy... click the "[Call to this topic]" link at the bottom of the page), but I've never witnessed an "inclusive" topic (which are exclusive, not inclusive, as you have discovered) being changed to a non-inclusive topic simply because the original poster realised their mistake.

"Inclusive" posts are for when one wants to have lots of little opinions about something but can't wait to qualify for posting a poll.

Same issue with the directory here (EN-RO) Mar 28, 2021

I have experienced the same issue with the directory for the EN-RO language pair, which I searched recently as a client of mine needed a translator in that language pair. Instead of paying ProZ members, I see non-members. I tried again just now and it's still happening. It doesn't happen with the reverse pair (RO-EN), only EN-RO. I didn't refine my search by adding any other criteria, I only searched by language pair. Both page 1 and page 2 of the results show the exact same list of non-members,... See more
