Tables ?

Can someone let me know if this forum software allows the use of tables in posts ,before I waste my time finding out it cant please.

ta!

 

I use BB codes to make tables

 

hmm ok that works here then , ok ty m8 will give it a shot

 

Tried that , the BBcode support with this software seems to be really lacking in functionality past just using really really basic table formatting commands.
Is there a reason for this ?
Alternatively I would like to think that nicely formatted tables are possible with this forum software and its me that is doing it wrong.
If thats the case anyone advise how to set things like colspan and cell background color please .

 

just a test...

what	can	we	do	here?	Lets	make	a	table	for	fun	example.
A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L
M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X
Y	Z	LOOK	AND	SEE	WHAT	WE	CAN DO?

Looks like tables work fine to me... even if there is a lot of space added. Try the free bb code generator at http://www.teamopolis.com/tools/bbcode-table-generator.aspx

 

ahh yes ty for that , however is that big gap between "just a test" and the table intentional ?
I found that if I formatted the code in a properly readable fashion then a gap started to appear.

 

Massive gap below which gets even bigger the bigger the table you use , only way to remove the gap is to have all the code in one line

this	is	a
test	1	2

Code:

[table]
[tr]
   [th][/th]
   [th][/th]
   [th][/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
   [td]this [/td]
   [td]is [/td]
   [td]a
[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
   [td]test[/td]
   [td]1[/td]
   [td]2[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Now the code is like this :

Code:

[table][tr][th][/th][th][/th][th][/th][/tr][tr][td]this [/td][td]is [/td][td]a[/td][/tr][tr][td]test[/td[td]1[/td][td]2[/td][/tr][/table]

this	is	a
test	1	2

The gap dissapears.

Also you cant have empty cells , the cells to the right , move left.

is	a
test	1	2

Imagine doing table edits on a large table with like a 4 *30 table with the code all in one line like that .
