Posting Tables

Subject: Posting Tables Fri Nov 11, 2016 3:46 am

I was just wondering if posting tables was allowed?
I haven't seen any on this forum, which is why I was wondering. I thought I would ask because I know they can make the forum a little bit cluttered.

An example of the kind of thing I mean is this

Code:: [center][table style="padding:0px; background-color: #0b0b0b;border:3px solid; border-color:#9b9b9b;" width="500px"][tr][td][center][img]https://i21.servimg.com/u/f21/19/32/20/64/tableh12.jpg[/img][/center]
[center][table style="padding:20px;" width="450px"][tr][td][center][color=#ffffff][size=20][font=Arial Black]~Cherokee~[/font][/size][/color]
[color=#999999][i]I think[/i][/color] - [i][color=#ffffff]I speak[/color][/i]
[color=#999999]

This is an example of something I used on an old forum, but hopefully it gives the idea.

I think simple posting tables like this would be okay! :0

I've used them before on other sites and I think they're pretty cool, but of course it's a personal preference kind of thing.

Really great Idea, but probably nothing for lazy people xD

Subject: Re: Posting Tables Fri Nov 11, 2016 3:32 pm

you mean

something like

this mayhaps?

EDIT: ^this^ IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN A TABLE.

Okay wait, it seems to work in the non-editor mode of the reply box, but not in the preview. I'm going to actually post this without knowing if that text will show as a table or not. (There is an option for tables in the editor, if you look at all the buttons.)

EDIT: Alright, seems like this is a function which DOES work within the post editor/creator, but doesn't work on the actual forum. How odd. I'll poke the admin(fireseeker) about it.

ALRIGHT.
It DOES work, as shown with the sample here:

1A	1B
2A	2B

In the next post i'll show the BBCode that makes it work, and explain why i didn't get it to work the first time.

Subject: Re: Posting Tables Fri Nov 11, 2016 3:40 pm

It's supposed to work by the following BBCode, but as you can see in my previous post, it doesnt:

It works, but when you add a table in editor mode, you only get the following:

[table][tr][td][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
which ISN'T enough to get a full table working. what's missing is:

[table border="5"]
[tr]
[td]1A[/td]
[td]1B[/td]
[td]1C[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]2A[/td]
[td]2B[/td]
[td]2C[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]3A[/td]
[td]3B[/td]
[td]3C[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

[tr][/tr] = One row of boxes, between this goes the following code, which gives us boxes

[td][/td]= one box, between these you need to put the text that goes in the box.

so to get what i have in the other post:

[table border="2"][tr][td]1A[/td]
[td]1B[/td]
[/tr]
[tr][td]2A[/td]
[td]2B[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

[table border="2"] = Start the table, tell the code how thick the lines need to be
[tr] = Start a row
[td]1A[/td][td]1B[/td] = Fill in two boxes/'columns' in that row, with text inbetween the [td][/td]
[/tr] = end the row
[tr] = start a next row
[td]2A[/td] [td]2B[/td] = same as earlier
[/tr] = same as earlier
[/table] = finish the table

and there you have it! tables on this forum, the how to do it!

If HTML coding is allowed on here, it would make it easier to make posting tables :0

Subject: Re: Posting Tables Fri Nov 11, 2016 5:25 pm

html does make it a lot easier, and allows for a lot more features like scrolling bars.

Again, I just figured I would ask considering I haven't seen them on here before xD
