When you click on reply, you will see a new bar that has a picture of a table, just click on it.

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

). 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:

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!

The Table width is 60


The line breaks here are with the 
PRE statement, font size is 75.

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.

This Table width is 95
This
is
a
lot
of
fun!!

The TH size is 40% here.

It's coming right along!!

I added a new header to the reply box that adds some new editing functions.

One BIG thing I noticed is if you have your screen adjusted to a larger size it throws the tables off....

Hit "ctrl+" a couple times and you will see what I mean.

Since it's not something that everyone would use, I think we need to limit it to those who feel they need it.

I can post something like:

"We have a new tool that allows members to create tables. This is not for the faint of heart. It's based on BBcode and requires at least some skills in working with it. If you are interested in giving it a shot, Let me know and I can give you access to it."

I can then give them "privledges" to use it. Otherwise it remains hidden.
