Thanks.

It was originally just going to be a list of links with short descriptions, but then I got more ambitious and figured I'd throw some comments and the actual results in as well. Remind me not to design anything late at night while on sugar. (I actually did the design and most of the work last night - rather, very early this morning - but didn't get the index done till today.)

Wow!

GREAT job TRULY impressive.

Ahh, I know, just repeating what Spiffor said. At least I added some formatting and changed one smilie...

Kloreep, do you intend to make it now "a new poll = a new post"? I would suggest that, as otherwise one would have to scroll a lot after hitting the "go to last unread post" arrow button on the forum page.

Also, could you somehow point out the polls that are still open for voting (I mean in the subject index, perhaps even in those nice tables). Something like using boldface or distinct colour for the open poll title or inserting an asterisk in front of it... I would love to be able to tell which ones are currently open for voting without actually closely looking at anything... Maybe even having one more index (Open polls) at the very beginning would be fine... you would just copy the line one more time.

Sorry to bother you with my nit-picking. I really believe you did a terrific job compiling all this together. It is so close to being perfect!

Oh, and keep the comments coming, please. The landslide one really made me laugh.

[Kloreep]

Good idea with the special font for open polls. I'll put that in.

I'll keep doing the comments, don't worry. And I'll hopefully be able to make more humorous ones when I'm only putting in a few at a time.

Wow, looks fantastic, Kloreep!

Who'd have ever thought that a listing of poll results would be so much fun to read!

[lmtoops]

Very nice, that's for this helpful directory.

Re: Wow!

Okay, the polls are now color-coded.

Whoops, forgot to reply to this. I'm going to edit in new entries. However, I will bump it once it gets to the bottom of the page (or when I feel like it, like now ).

[Spiffor]

I prefer you post new posts. It will bump automatically then, much better than filling the thread with "bump"s

[Kloreep]

Yes, but you would eventually have to jump between pages if you wanted to go between later entries and the index.

Besides, I think there will be fewer "bump" posts than there would be "new entry" posts. I don't plan to bump it until it's near the bottom of the first page.

Great job, Kloreep!
