I see that after my earlier post on here, phpBB has already altered some of my coding. Here is a screenshot of the heading for our start page on our computer:

I sure would like to join in the fun.

Hi all. I was going to try a two image table showing two of my telescopes. I learned HTML 3.2 and 4.0 (Cobra) but I am behind the current versions. I just use Notepad for creating and editing plus it makes image calls from my own computer for the home Start Page I wrote years ago (with large refractor scopes in the heading :lol: ). However this phpBB coding and editor really has me spinning and I am not sure how to proceed, but I sure would like to try something on the test forum. Here is the coding for our home computer start page:

The editor on my cell phone...

As far as who uses it, that's up to you @Gordon . It is pretty straight forward and anyone with HTML experience will understand it. I'll use it for sure

Those look great!

I think we need to limit usage to those who request it rather than just allow all members to use it.

This was four days of daytime clarity, and shows the ever-changing face of the Sun taken 24 hours apart each day. Enjoy!

Looking at your text block, I believe I've figured out how to make the text break like I want it to on the post I'm working on, this is a lot of FUN!

The Table width is 60
The table to the right shows putting a table inside of a table cell ([td]).

I shortened it to 6 rows instead of the default 9.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of HTML should have no problem with it.

I like using the img tag for sharing the images, the browser handles the resizing, even the mobile view shows the exact same layout, only smaller and they display nicely with left and right buttons in full screen.

Trying to edit text, there's no break button on the tools strip so I put the tag in manually, it doesn't work. Without it can't control how the text flows and images shift on larger screens.
The editor handles the break normally in the post with just the return key but not so in a table. Horizontal line is another one just like break, it works nicely in tables as well.

Should be

Break - [br][/br]
Horizontal Divider ([hl][/hl]

Mobile view is jacked with the text, titles get repeated in the oddest of ways...
Maggie's Home Coming
Maggie was eight weeks old when we got her. That
puts her birthday on February 1st since she came
home on the 27th.

Maggie and Scrappy playing outside
This was taken two days after Maggie joined us.
Scrappy looks really bord. Not so much now. :D
Image Image Image
All three and probably the only one
This one is by far my favorite, I couldn't get to
my phone fast enough to snap this. I doubt
it will ever happen again. Lexie might have
actually playd with Maggie, if she weren't
so big. I watched them get into a slap fight
when Maggie was about 12 weeks old.
Now Maggie is so big! One slap and Lexie looses!

Maggie the tuckered pup
After a couple of hours Maggie fell fast asleep.
Scrappy did to, puppies are such a handful!
