Forums - Website Topics - Horrible table function on VGC

I have noticed recently (past few weeks) that adding a table to a post results in incredibly odd things happening. I have tried to work with the oddities but it is starting to get on my nerves.

-Trying to highlight a specific column or row can be a nightmare with many attempts needed to get anywhere.

-It seems to be impossible to have 1 column right aligned and another left, they all have to be the same unless I do it cell by cell.

-I added a column to a table in my Nintendo Channel thread, and added some numbers part way down, intending to fill in the rest later, but when I post and click edit again, all the cells below the last entered data have dissapeared. (I deleted the cell and started again but it has done it again)

-spaces don't seem to register at the start of a sentence, I resorted to adding another column (I wanted the spaces because I couldn't left align the game titles in the left column... and I was trying to seperate column 1 and 2) and then putting a '-' in to stop that column disappearing.

Has anyone else got problems like these, they are incredibly frustrating.

Come on people... I need to know if it is just me.

I'd PM ioi but that never works (and PMing other mods usually tell me to PM ioi)

Isn't there an email address I can complain to?



I have tried to get the tables right, but they are a mess and I gave up.



I noticed it too, I tried to use tables a few times but in the end just gave up. :p

^It's fine when you first enter things... the problems arise when you try to highlight things or if you leave blank cells before editing.



I'll PM ioi about it.



I still don't know how to put a quote box in :(.

Good point.. neither do I (without pressing quote).

If I have ever had multiple quotes I just make a white backgrounded box... I don't know how to add the "teeth" border.



Yes, I have had similar problems, but because I keep my tables in excel, I just end up deleting the one on chartz and re-pasting it.

I also use the extra columns instead of using left/right justify.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
