I've seen a lot of people post requests for support for various proposals on the UN boards, and either use a link like this:
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/-1/page=UN_proposal/start=45
Or not even bother at all.
The problem with the first method is that as the proposals get cycled through, the page number is going to change, so inevitably the link above would become redundant.
The problem with the second way is that it is simply lazy, and since there are delegates who are equally lazy, they simply won't bother endorsing the proposal.
there is a better way!
instead of using the shortcut you find on the listing proposals screen, try modifying this url:
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_proposal1/match=Insert%20your%20proposal%name%20here
Change Insert%20your%20proposal%name%20here to whatever your proposal is called, using %20 instead of spaces.
You could also include this address in your messages to delegates when you hassle them for support ;)
