Road Directions

Postby deadboy » Thu Apr 06, 2006 8:50 pm

The new road directions are awesome, but there is a major problem with them

the improving project names are just too big, it completely messes up the layout of the page when project working on is "Project: Improing road to Unknown Location, Upgrade to sand road (north-north-east)" is splattered across the screen, dragging everything else way to the left. Could you please shorten this to something like "Project: Improving road to Unknown location to sand (N-N-E). This really cuts down the size of the name and should make the layout fix itself

The abbreviation of directions would work in English but doesn't work in all languages (cf Esperanto where Orient and Okcident are East and West respectively) . There may be some scope in removing a few words but a more general approach applicable to all long project names (not just road improvement) may be to use a smaller font for the longer names or introducing a line break.

ProgD will look further into this
