Yeah I also find it quite hard to make the table look nice, the spacing always get messed up. Tried the below seems to be a little better:

Column1....................	\|	Column2
row 1, cell 1	\|	row 1, cell 2
row 2, cell 1	\|	row 2, cell 2

What I tried:

Code:

[table]
[tr]
[td] [b]Column 1....................[/b] [/td][td]|[/td]
[td] [b]Column 2[/b] [/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td] row 1, cell 1 [/td][td]|[/td]
[td] row 1, cell 2 [/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td] row 2, cell 1 [/td][td]|[/td]
[td] row 2, cell 2 [/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

How can I space my cells apart? For example:

Current Setup

Hardware	QTY	Hash Power	Algo	Mining
Antminer S9 13.5 TH/s	2	27 TH/s	SHA-256	BTC
RX 580 8GB	6	180 MH/s	Equihash	ETH

Look how close the cells are together. I can't figure out how to add some spacing in between them. Anyone?

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!

In preview mode, this code is okay! ~~Let me look how it is when posting!~~ Broken! Sad

row 1, cell 1	row 1, cell 2
row 2, cell 1	row 2, cell 2

@mods : Testing here, please don't delete.

If you want to use it now, 'pre' tag, '_' and '|' would be useful for you but it will consume a little more time than you create a 'table' codes.

Tables are not displaying properly when using bbcode

I was trying to make some tables with bbcode,

but the tables were not displaying at all.

I want to be in control of the table borders width, and cellspacing and cellpadding.

I also want to be able to change the background color of the table.

I want to be able to change the background color of the table cells.

And I would like to be able to control the background color of the posting page,
behind the tables, that area.

I think you can use table code on your signature once your rank has change into Senior Member

It likes to collapse tables to minimum width, and so any columns with a column to the right will collapse to their minimum size.

It's because this glaring bug in the forum's style sheet was never fixed.

None of those are features of smf / BBcode, its simply not there.

Your example in post #4 is exactly what the table should look like with what you've entered. It likes to collapse tables to minimum width, and so any columns with a column to the right will collapse to their minimum size.

I am trying to create a table with the bbcode.
I try using this code below, which works fine with html tags,
but isn't working with the bbcode.

This is the code below for making a basic table:

Code:

[table][tr]
[td]row 1, cell 1[/td]
[td]row 1, cell 2[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]row 2, cell 1[/td]
[td]row 2, cell 2[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

But when I try to use that, I get this error displayed below:

row 1, cell 1	row 1, cell 2
row 2, cell 1	row 2, cell 2

So, how do I use the bbcode to make a table at bitcointalk?

Thank you

are tables enabled? i think its a option in the simple machines configuration

I see pages using tables at bitcointalk.

although I have experience with tables, am not sure how it works here with bbcode.

plus I want fancier tables with background colors and colored borders and stuff.
