Help needed: want to make a list in a thread

[Yvet]

Hi,

I hope that somebody can help me out a bit.

I try to make a list in a thread but tab doesn't work and everything is just put next to each other and that doesn't make it convenient at all.

For example:
Dis name: Name: arrive: leave:
Yvet Yvette Friday Monday

Does anybody know how i can get this just among each other with enough space in between??
I tried copy from word and excel but that doesn't work either....

I just typed in Table BBCode into google and found a generator, that way you should be able to use that site to put your info into a table, and then copy paste the code it generates.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: Ok, just tried testing it and not sure if it'll work. Seems the boards may not allow the use of the BBcode tags it uses. Hopefully someone can find an answer, would be a useful thing to know.

Up above the box you are typing in there are two list options. One will makes numbered lists like:

1. This
2. Kind
3. of
4. List

and the other will make unnumbered lists like

• This
• Kind
• of
• List

They are the 7th and 8th button from the left on the second row just under the font size dropdown. Hopefully this is what you mean.

Oh, and congratulations on the game yesterday, Netherlands v. Brazil will be a must watch.

I think she was looking for more of a table than a list.

Oh, sorry. I apparently am looking for some reading comprehension.

I tried to use a BBCode Generator, but it does not look like it will work on the Disboards.



Here is the code generated from the site.

DisName	Name	Arrive	Leave
Yvet	Yvette	Friday	Monday

Yvet,
When I make the one for the fish extender list, I make the list in Excel, then I copy and paste it into MSPaint. Then I upload the pic to photobucket and use the photobucket code here.

Wow Jen -

I knew that keeping that list of yours was an undertaking, but I never knew the convoluted way you had to go about getting onto the boards for us to see

This is very complicated to do, there must be a much simpler way to get it done.... I hope.....

It's really not that hard. Just a copy and paste, then log into photobucket and upload. Plus keeping it in Excel makes it easy to sort. I think it sounds harder than it really is.

I did one in word, it works in word, just copying it here it looks like this:
Dis Name Name Arrive Leave
Yvet Yvette Friday Monday
Parrotheadlois Lois Friday Friday

I can't upload it to photobucket.
Jen's Excel seems to work better
