I want to use the tables that the forum provides, but I've never seen them in use and I have no clue how to use them. Any help would be great.
I already told you how actual tables work in chat, although you can make a makeshift able as follows.
Table |Column 1 |Column 2
Row 1 |Data (1,1) |Data (2,1)
Row 2 |Data (1,2) |Data (2,2)EDIT: Apparently the forum thinks a tab character is equivalent to 3 spaces. Nvm.EDIT: Teletype tags FTW
EDIT: To make this useful to anyone who searches for it...
| Table | Column 1 | Column 2 |
| Row 1 | Data (1,1) | Data (2,1) |
| Row 2 | Data (1,2) | Data (2,2) |
And I've even given the columns breathing room with more teletype magic. Too bad these are such a pain to edit.
Awesome
Check out the help (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=help) and in there the BBCode for tables (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbc).
Basically each BBCode tag is surrounded by [ ] square bracket pairs.
You start by defining a table
[ table ]
then a row
[ tr ]
then for each column a cell entry
[ td ] entry [ /td ] repeat as necessary
[ /tr ] end row
repeat rows as necessary
[ /table ] end table
I also use tables in my overview thread, but I haven't been able to define the width of the first column. It seems to resize automatically (almost randomly).

Indeed, it can do that to you. Notice that in my post, I got around this by making non-standard tables with the
teletype tag. This, being a fixed-width font, will behave in an easy-to-adjust manner, allowing you to get round that problem. You can also easily remove the grid lines by removing the underlining and vertical bars.
Example:
Table Column 1 Column 2
Row 1 Data (1,1) Data (2,1)
Row 2 Data (1,2) Data (2,2)
Yeah, but I use pictures in my table cells (and different font sizes), so I guess I'll have to live with it.
