Postage Stamp Chat Board & Stamp Bulletin Board Forum
 

Hi.

In my post re kinderpostzegels - http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=26173 - I tried a produce a table for the stamp value, colour, surcharge, etc (under Charity Surcharge).

But failed. I copied it in from word and the tabs came with it, but didn't display when previewed. I also tried lots of spaces to space out the columns, also didn't work (the extra spaces get removed).

Also tried the html <table> commands - no joy.

Any way to make a table like this more readable?

Thanks - Dave.

Hi Dave,


I had the same problem. I would spend time to make a table and then have it all screwed up when previewed. Someone here told me an easy way; use code. When you click the code button you get two commands, code to start and /code to end. Just put your table between these two commands. Here is an example


It's not 100% but closer than nothing. Note you may have to adjust number spacing since the board seems to use a proportional font rather than a fixed font like Courier New.

AFAIK the phpBB software won't let you add a table to a post - period.

For any tables, I've always just made a jpeg out of an Excel table, saved it in Photobucket with the correct 800 X 600 size, then loaded into the post.

That may be a bit of mucking around but a table looks good in that format and, as the data is saved in Photobucket, it will be there as long as that exists.
