Maybe tables? Now, how did I do it in the other forums again?

Table 1:

[table][tr][td]Testing[/td][td]Testing[/td][/tr][tr][td]123[/td][td]123[/td][/tr][/table]

Nope... I guess not.

How do I suggest this BBcode to be added in the next major version?

Did you try in HTML mode?

In any way, John Murga keeps the software up to date.
You can PM him about this.

No, I didn't... but my html is set to off, so it wouldn't help even if I knew how to do tables in html. (I used to know, but I've forgotten so much of it...)

As for telling John Murga via PM, I'll do just that. thanks.

Well, I don't want to push you, but going into your profile preferences-posting a message you can put HTML on.

But indeed John Murga is the person to contact.
I can't remember this has come up before.

That's the thing... I've set it to on, but for some reason, it's not working.

The HTML code uses the < > pair not [ ]
That's one reason.
But the structure you propose isn't valid either.

In SeaMonkey you can start the composer.
Insert a table and study the code.

But best is to wait on an answer of John Murga.

I figured out why the html is still off in my posts when the setting says it's on.
I haven't been on this forum long enough to warrant the trust that's required for html just yet. Once the admins of the forum see whether I can be trusted with html or not, they'll activate it if I'm worthy... no rush there... I still need to learn how to use html, so I'm not fussed.

As for the BBcode structure not being valid... are you saying that it would be better in html-type format, but using [ and ] instead of < and >?

Where did you get the idea that you have to be trusted for html?

When you did the example for table1, I thought you made it as an example of html. Hence my remark that html statements/code is between < >

If you intended it to be BBCode, then yes brackets are used.
I saw that the table commands exists, but probably not implemented here.

Maybe John Murga has to change his version of phpBB.

Oh, I just assumed it was about earning the trust of the admins as a noobie before the privilege of using html became active...

As for using the html code with BBcode brackets, I didn't know that was the syntax for html... I just knew that as BBcode from my previous experiences with BB's

Well I have the same issue as you.
Altho I activated HTML in my profile, it doesn't show as being on.
I have never worked like that.

I'll investigate as this is an interesting question.

Thanks, Béèm. I just checked the PM reply from John, and he said he'll be checking into that as well (At least, I think he is... that part of the message wasn't all too clear...)

As for what he said about doing tables, there is the screenshot option (Which you can't cut and paste from) and the formatted text option (which you CAN cut and paste from)...

What I was wanting to do was use the table to space out the stuff I could've just taken a screenshot of if I wasn't afraid of overtaxing the machine I needed to get the screenshot from in the first place.

When I take a screenshot I crop the part which is relevant and resize the picture to have it max 600pixels wide. This reduces the space needed on the server.

Whusmaname · #58 Post by **Whusmaname** » Fri 02 Sep 2011, 17:23

When (If, more like) I take a screenshot, I upload it to my photobucket account, and post a link to it.

nooby · #59 Post by **nooby** » Fri 02 Sep 2011, 17:33

Ah a photobucket account. I had one at Flickr yahoo something?
But lost the password so now fail to log in.

But one can do editing in the mtpaint too? Not that I am good at it. I barely know what I do but a 1000KB got down to 57KB or somethng but the low resolution looks bad to look at

haha this thread can go on forever.

Unless it gets locked, that is... We could always start another thread in the general talk section, and link back to this so the conversation can continue...

I think I'll do that, then edit this one to link to it... I'll be back in a mo.

Edit. Click here to continue, I'll PM a mod to get this thread locked.
