One of the items on the todo list is dBCodes for tables. It's actually half-implemented. I had to divert my efforts to other things, but will get back to it eventually.
Your strong interest in working out the details of things like HTML and dBCodes and so forth leads me to ask if you've ever considered learning a little programming?

Thank you RAZD and Percy (percy pointed it out in the thread in which I asked, but I've cluttered it enough with questions).

Several people asked where to find the TID number to use in the [TID=(TID number)] code.
If you use PEEK on any message, in the navigation bar you get

so if i understand this thread correctly i have to manually type in the codes to get my deisred action. in other words one has to be computer literate to post here?
i am used to having buttons do all the work as i am not computer literate, is there a way to get the button functions? or am i stuck?

Hi, Taz.
This would be useful if someone would teach them how to doubt appropriately first. -Bluejay (a.k.a. Mantis, Thylacosmilus) Darwin loves you.

i tired those but i messed up i guess. my question remains unanswered--do i have to manually type in the codes or what? just putting in a post the codes without saying if one copies and pastes, hits a button or manually types means you did not communicate clearly enough.

yes, you type the codes in manually. If you want to see how someone formatted a post you can use the peak mode.
The error so far in your messages is not using a closing code. Edited by jar, : No reason given.

Hi Archaeologist!
Which board were you using where the codes were inserted for you so I can take a look? --Percy

Percy, I set up Dream catcher to have buttons to insert codes. I also have html turned off and created a set of dBcodes to implement a limited set of html functions.

Okay, thanks, that's what I thought he meant. That kind of thing is coming, but there's no schedule at the present time.
