Well, that can easily be done in Code

Code: Select all

But with Code you have to align it yourself, which can be cumbersome. On my screen, the 40 from your table seems to be 1 space to the left in my edit window, but in your reply it is perfectly in line with the other numbers.

Code should be for code or other fixed-width text formatting. It is quite insufficient for actual tabled information and layout, though. Code also doesn't allow you to use any type of mark-up including hyperlinking or imbedding images.

It might be possible, I'd have to see if I could find a way of doing it that works nicely. It'd be very easy for people to potentially mess up the layout of the forum (or at least create some very ugly tables with things in the wrong place).

I'm getting married on Saturday though, so it probably won't happen in the next few weeks I'm afraid!

What? Personal life taking precedence over administration of a forum for a hobby? We're on the slippery slope now - soon, you'll be going to work rather than catering to our every need...

Joking of course :P Congratulations Owen! :)

As long as you only install css based layouts (i.e. no SubSilver2), bad tables shouldn't mess up the forums like they would have with phpBB2.

Unfortunately, the default theme for TT-Forums is subSilver2-based, and will probably remain to be so for the foreseeable future unless anyone would care to rewrite it. ;)

Will have to see how phpBB 3.1 will fit into everything at some point, too...

Since we've made the jump to PHPBB 3.1, any chance of revisiting this suggestion?

The TT theme is still table-based, so phpBB 3.1 doesn't make much difference in that sense. I'll put it on my todo list to try to look at this though, along with the spoiler tag requested in the other topic here.
