Thanks, Zmom and Whoami. Unfortunately, I could not figure out in 10 seconds how to work the site to give me elevation. I'll have to try it tomorrow. Strange query form. US gov, lol.

AAARRGGH!!

OK, so back to my question. I can't seem to make the table appear except in great big letters. I know I've seen tables on here in normal or even small letters.

Also, my table won't post with the lines(cell borders) that I set up in Excel. I could swear I've seen tables posted here with the border lines showing up.

What am I doing wrong? (I have no examples for you to see, since I'm just experimenting in the Spam area, and just hitting "cancel post" when I see how screwy it looks in the preview screen.)

Whoami: Here are a couple of examples:


\table{\c{\-2{This}},\c{\-2{is}},\c{\-2{a}},\c{\-2{table}}
\c{\-2{using}},\c{\-2{the}},\c{\-2{smallest}},\c{\-2{font}}}
(and centered on each cell)

This
is
a
table
using
the
smallest
font


\table{This,is,a,table
using,the,regular,font}
(not centered either)
Thisisatable
usingtheregularfont


Yes, unfortunately you do have to enter the \-2{} tag around each cell in order for the size to take effect on the table. There is also the \tablenb{} tag which gives you a table without boarders like this:
This
is
a
table
using
the
smallest
font


Hope this helps.

Oy!

That looks like a lot of work. But yes, it helps a lot. I think I've already figured out a way to format each cell quickly though.

Thank you very much!

What type of Pop up Blockers does everyone use or reccommend? I get pop ups non stop on my computer. I tried the Google pop up blocker but it doesn't seem to work.

Jagger: I use Netscape 7.1 with a built-in blocker and have not had any problems with it. Also, Windows/XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) now includes a blocker for IE as well as an enhanced firewall if you need it. If you're running XP, you might want to consider this upgrade. I haven't had any problems with it so far.

Jagger, I currently use Windows/XP SP2 which includes a pop up blocker and is very effective.

Another program that I used previously is Free Surfer. It is a nice little freeware program.

You can find it at:

Hope this helps.

P.S. Draheid, I just wanted to mention that I really appreciate your wonderful contribution helping people out with their computer issues. Your depth of knowledge is very impressive and you are very generous with your help. Thanks!

Jagger,
I started with the google and then switched to the Yahoo popup blocker/toolbar which is great. I have Windows XP/IE.

OK, so I've been playing around with the table I will want to post for the football pool game. And in order to get it small enough to not make the page too wide, I have to edit down a lot of words, including some of the TVCH Member's names that are a bit longer than the others. I really don't like the way it looks. So I'm exploring other options.

So, I just tried in the Spam room doing it with the \attach tag. How exactly does that affect the site? Is the attachment stored somewhere on the server? Does it take up extra room?

I got prompted by Zone Alarm if I wanted Excel to act as a server. Does that mean if someone clicks on that attachment link, that they have to have access to my computer to see it? Or once I upload it, is it stored somewhere else? Does the person who views it have access to each sheet within the Excel book uploaded? Or just the one showing?

Or is the idea of me doing an Excel attachment too much for the TVCH server to handle?

Is there a better way to do this?

I'm such a pain. Sorry. I just remember Spongie's lovely charts he did for the Deadpool games. And he had a lot of info on there, yet it came out so neat and pretty!

Jagger, if the Google popup blocker is not working, you are probably infected with spyware/malware/adware. Go here and download the free version of Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoft.ru/
After you download it and install it, update it, then run it. That should cure your popup problem, and then the Google toolbar will take care of it from there.

I am using Google toolbar and since I have installed Windows Service Pack 2, its included popup blocker has been overriding the Google one.

Whoami: Ok, well I was curious to try a couple of other ideas so I've worked it over once again and resent a new version. I'll warn you in advance, this one comes with some 'instructions'. lol - use it if you want, toss it if you don't.

Hope this helps

I need a physics resource... I have exhausted my resources, if anyone can lead me to the right place - ds would appreciate it!! He has been pouringover notes, and has 2 books, he's gone to a friend's house, and dh has been his backbone of support but is out of town :-(

Akangaroo jumps to a vertical height of 271cm. How long (in seconds) was the kangaroo in the air?

A falling stone takes 0.360 s to pass a window 2.20m high From what height in meters above the top of the window did the stone fall...

and it goes on... apparently there are pieces that he knows how to do, but it switched up now, and I am of no help!!

My email is in my profile, and he has aim...

How do I save a chat using mIRC? It would make my life alot easier than trying to remember/retype my convo for when I post my road trip. PS. There was only one other person in the room and she knows I only want it for this reason. Help?

Twinkie, I think it has to be turned on at the time of the chat, but you can go look to see if it was turned on, and you didn't know it.

Navigate your way to mIrc file on your computer and see if there is something called log or logs. Or you can do computer search on "log."

Twinkie: Click on the folder icon in the top-left corner of the window (left of the #channel name), then click on 'Buffer - Save as' then type in a name to save the current content of the chat buffer. Like this:

Yay Twinkie!!! Hahahahaha, I did not know about the buffer. I could only have suggested cut and paste.

Now, Twinks, if you chat every night, you will probably want to go in every now and then and clean out those logs. It is also my personal opinion that it is only polite to inform the others if you are logging chat. On the other hand, whenever I am in chat, I always proceed on the assumption that everybody in the room is logging, and my words could come back to haunt me one of these days if I am not somewhat circumspect.
