Yahoo Have Accepted Fatboy Bean Bags Into Their Directory

So it eventually happenned, Yahoo have accepted Fatboy bean bags into their directory. It  hasn’t all been plain sailing. Firstly I had to hand over $299 which is a fair chunk of change then had to wait for 10 days before it appeared.

I received an email from Yahoo which said

The following URL submitted for expedited review with Yahoo! Directory Submit Order #146406060 has been added to the Yahoo!
Directory:

http://www.fatboybeanbags.ie

Directory Placement. Within 2-4 days, your site will appear in our “What’s New” List at:

http://dir.yahoo.com/new/

To find your listing, enter your URL in the search box on that page. You can also browse through the individual categories or the complete list of sites added on that day.

So I waited 4 days to see where they had listed it but couldnt find it at all. So I sent off an email which said

Hi

Please could you clarify where

http://www.fatboybeanbags.ie

Here is the response I received back.
