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.

liking maniac`s idea

[Anodyne]

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

[Maniac]

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?

[Anodyne]

Mnaah. Do it your way, then

[Maniac]

Thank you! Why don't we leave this serious business for tomorrow and have a nice drink in the rec commons?

[Anodyne]

Haven't we been doing it for the whole time now?

copy and paste in first post. i hope you don't mind i messed with your thread i did the same thing to DBTS's "baby"

[Maniac]

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!!!.

[UnOrthOdOx]

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.

Have some pitty on those of us who haven't even discovered flight yet...

about the size, i personally thought it was just right. oh well

[UnOrthOdOx]

It's fine for now, what happens when you get 50 or so links to put under the titles, though?

Thanks guys.

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

[UnOrthOdOx]

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.
