Do you mean the results of the election polls? The current directors are listed besides their branch. I was thinking of adding a link to every election as months proceed, which wil result in something like:
Director of Energy and Industry election for term one, two, three,...
Adding the name of all the previous directors would make the list very long.

If you added the name to the same line after the poll-title, it wouldn't take too much space?

	Suffering from ads?

Yes it would. That's what I'm saying. That's why I would only post the current director besides the branch title. To know the previous directors, one has to check the poll threads. Furthermore I presume the previous governments will also be listed in DE's Official Cabinet thread. Perhaps I'm not understanding your suggestion well.

Anyway, be free to post more suggestions. Do I need to add some more colour? Can you think of a clearer layout as I suppose the first post will become unreadable as it grows in sizz?

Ah yes, I forgot about using the

hardline. Sorry about that! And I didn't even know you could centre text! That will make things clearer. But um, the size of those titles... aren't you a *little* exaggerating...

I'll make changes tomorrow and check out what text editing possibilities Apolyton all has. Now it's already too late and a movie which I want to see starts soon. I also want to hear a third opinion about the size of the titles. I mean... really!!!.

Whoa!

Too big of the lettering, but otherwise good.


Um, Can someone show me how to use the hardline, and center? Please? I didn't see those in the FAQ, and it would help out my directory in the C3DG.

nothing. the links themselves aren't bigger, barring BOLD but the headings fit nicely onto the page. so long as they fit on one line, there's no such thing as too big!

IMO, its also easier to read.

EDIT: perhaps the NGO links could conform to the size of the other links

I'm just saying the bigger text makes the page longer, ESP when you get more and more links. But this is all just IMO. I regularly run at high res and small text, so that may be biassing my views as well. This just looks too much like an eye chart to me.

Simply copying and pasting doesn't work. It doesn't keep the links and text editing. I'll have to do all changes manually.

Btw, how do you let text roll from one side to the other side of the screen. It doesn't seem to be explained anywhere on Apolyton.
Not that I want to use that in this thread though...

apolyton doesn't explain it because it's HTML code, and way too complicated to be explained on 1 page like vb code. HTML is the code you use to make web pages.
i don't want to say it here, so just click "reply with quote" next time you see it. this way reveals all the formatting tags someone used

I'll add the poll but I won't adopt your format exactly. Personally I don't like to see the links in bold. Also I prefer to keep the directorates large titles as opposed to your small ones, as I hope the directors will post a lot of polls for democracy's sake, thus earning themselves a seperate big title. Another thing is I wouldn't add the "Led by X" after the citizen organizations because they are citizen organizations, not led by chosen directors. I think those are about the biggest differences between our two formats, as I already took over most of your great layout. Naturally, if a third person posts here and says he prefers some of your changes, I will add them.
