Well, I have just added some code to make it easier to make a table in messages. Just click on the icon above your message window, like this one...In the box that appears (allow pop-ups) enter how many rows and colums you would like.
Click Add Table if you wish to edit the table in your message window, or do as follows...
Click on Edit and you can then enter the details that you want to appear in each column/row. The Edit box will look something like this, depending on how many rows/columns you have chosen.
Click Insert to Post.
The following will give you an idea of what the code will look like in your message window before posting...[table][tr][td]Row 1 Column 1[/td][td]Row 1 Column 2[/td][/tr][tr][td]Row 2 Column 1[/td][td]Row 2 Column 2[/td][/tr][tr][td]Row 3 Column 1[/td][td]Row 3 Column 2[/td][/tr][tr][td]Row 4 Column 1[/td][td]Row 4 Column 2[/td][/tr][tr][td]Row 5 Column 1[/td][td]Row 5 Column 2[/td][/tr][tr][td]Row 6 Column 1[/td][td]Row 6 Column 2[/td][/tr][/table] If you clicked Add Table......where you see the words... Row 1 Column 1 Row 3 Column 1 ....and so on, just enter the words you want in your table. Practise on this thread if you want.....remember to click the Preview button before posting so that you can see what your table looks like. Have Fun! Read through this thread as there are more suggestions on enhancing your table eg. coloured backgrounds etc.
This is what the table will look like once posted...Happy Christmas | Hello | Testing | CIT | Thankyou | Computer | Blah | Smiles | Snow | Rain | Sunshine | Laugh |

I seem to remember on the old MSN boards we could use 'Tables' to upload backgrounds to our posts.
I've been playing around on here and can't seem to get it to work. Is it still possible ?

Hiya Beachcomber, I have just been playing around with it, but I don't think you can do it on the message boards. I am looking into it on the help forum.
You can add a background to the actual 'pages' here like this one[/size][/font]

I have added a code that now gives you the option when replying to add colours to your tables. Above the smilies in your message window, you will see 'Enhanced table Tags.' At the moment I have just used the 'background color' tag from the drop down arrow and changed each colour of each cell.[/size][/color]

Just having a play.
I haven't found a way to use images for backgrounds but it seems you can use percentages for the width, and as such have a padding colour. I've cheated also for the length by just pressing enter and creating line breaks.

[atrb=background,http://i40.tinypic.com/2s81jie.jpg,true] Hey, I got the code for a background in a table from those helpful people over at the help forum! Copy the code below and replace the url with the url of your own background and my text with your own. The comma after the word 'background' and the comma after the word 'jpg' are very important. Have fun.

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/291hwft.jpg,true] Just experimenting with change of font, so now you can copy code below, change url to your background, change words and change font and size. Hey presto I hope you like this ability to use tables.
I suppose you are now going to ask how to do a double or triple background?
Shall we try and work that out for ourselves?
Let me know when you have and please share the code with us all. One of you must be able to do it....this is your new challenge, I'll be waiting ;D
