Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

if you're doing
[table]
[tr][td]blahblahblah[/td][/tr][/table]

just toss in a border="1" in the table. [table border=1"]. the higher the number, the thicker the line. you can fit that in there even with things like table width/bg images. just pop it in first.

I'm already doing that. :(
What I have been doing was to have the table generated with the quick function, so it went along the lines like this: Post an Entry -> Rich Text viewing -> insert tab -> x rows as needed, x columns as needed, border 1 and it looked like I wanted it to. Then I can insert images, text, symbols, formatting all fine to get what I want. For example like this:

[table width="200" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1"]
[tbody]
[tr][td][img src="inserthere"][/td][td][img src="inserthere"][/td][td][img src="inserthere"][/td][/tr]
[/tbody]
[/table]

This should result in a simple one line grid with 3 columns and a picture in each. But what I get when I hit post/save and then go to view the entry looks like this:

.........img2
......img1..img3

Fiddling with the thickness of the border helps nothing because it keeps just not displaying anywhere but in the edit window (where it shows up correctly).

could you give me the links to the pictures you're using?

Sorry, I've been using a wide variety to make sure that it's not the image source fucking up as well as some icons from my DW accounts. The only common thing they had was that I've uploaded them all on imgur and then used the direct links.

[table style="border:1px solid black;" width="200" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"]

try that instead? that'll only do it around the table itself, though. if you want it around the cells as well, you'll have to add more.

[tr]
[td style="border:1px solid black;"][img here][/td][td style="border:1px solid black;"][img here][/td][td style="border:1px solid black;"][img here][/td]
[/tr]

I think that should do you? It's showing up in my edit window.

Wow anon, that worked! It's still kinda strange since I now have a double lining around the table when I post it and view it looking at the journal as a whole, but it's showing what I was trying for inside the post now, and that's where it matters. Thank you so much!!

glad to be able to help. html and css are a bitch.

The double lining is because of the cellspacing/cellpadding. get rid of both, replace the [td ...] code with [td style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 2px;"] and it'll get rid of the double border spacing. it's more characters, but your browser will parse it better.
