Pre formatted text

This isn’t a suggestion but a question.

I’m trying to post some text of votes the outer supporters do.

It is in alignment in columns without borders like so -

2012 Reserves From Games Votes
Simon Moore+ Colts/Sorrento-Duncraig 15 64
Michael Genovese Colts/Goldfields 15 45
Matt Bogensperger+ Colts/Goldfields 12 37

Only thing is, it doesn’t stay aligned with the software available. It gets bunched together instead of being spaced out evenly in columns.

I’ve tried [pre, I’ve also tried [code. Nothing works to reproduce it as I had it on WAFLonline or on my files. Is there a way to do it Mike?

Yes the Old Footygoss problem.. I found the best way was to actually use a programme like ZapGrab that takes a picture of the document and then post it as a Jpg after using Zapgrab or a similar programme.
Basically it means using Zapgrab or a similar screen grab programme and then I put it into Photo programme (I use photostudio but photoshop or similar would do or a free programme)..So you can do the programme formatted on word or whatever and then take a pic of it.
I save the picture and post it on here e.g

https://ozfooty.net/media/kunena/attachments/859/2012LADDERS.jpg

It sound hard but once you have done it a couple of times saves a lot of work with trying to tabulate tables on these pages.
This is a brilliant site so maybe there is something up top in the menu on the page. e.g Create an imbeded table ??? I havent had a look at it yet.

Sorry if my method appears confusing but willing to help further if required.

That sounds great mate. Will give it a shot. Thanks for the help.

Cheers
Ben

As I said I use Zapgrab and one of the best around. Windows have a programme as well called Snipping Tool that comes with Windows.
ZapGrab is a free prog so just google it. I am pretty sure I got the Softpedia one.
Anyway here is a google link

https://www.google.com.au/search?source=ig&rlz=&q=zapgrab

It keeps trying to charge me a fee.

Maybe ZapGrab isnt free anymore mate.. Do you have W7? or Vista?
Goto bottom left screen and bring up all programmes.
Goto accessories and Snipping tool is in there. Once found right click on it and send it to Desktop as a shortcut (makes it easier to find in future)
Snipping tool is similar to Zapgrab and allows you to copy a screen.

Here is a page I grabbed off the net using the Snipping tool

I see zapGrab is now charging a fee mate. It is only 6.99 US or that should equate to around $5 Aust. Worth the cost as I use this programme a lot.
Especially on this Footy site and handy for sending pics via email etc etc.
When you go into this page make sure you look at the top and select what version of Microsoft you are using to download E.G W7/Vista etc

Possibly this message is being displayed because you are trying to insert code into a post. The forum software will not allow for script or code inserting.

The reason is this is how undesirables hijack websites. Any feature on a website that allows others to send data back to the server is a security risk. This includes simple forms on websites.

The forum software has built in security checking / features which prevent .PHP or script code being submitted to the database.

.htaccess is a hidden Unix file that is run under the Apache web server software. Not even I can change it on the host without the correct permissions. At the end of the day, to do so would be a security risk, not only for OzFooty, but other websites running from the same host.

Mike.

Fair call Mike and can see the reasoning behind it with the codes.
Easy for a spammer to come in through that back door.
Dont want another Footy Goss..

Ben here is an example of what you want - I think.
I typed this up on a Word doc/took a grab/ Saved it/ clicked on Add file below/clicked on insert (as this puts it on the page) and here is the end result.
If you need a hand let me know.

Yeah that’s it mate.

I figured out how to do it in the early hours of the morning.

Then I found that a screenshot of …say…a season of votes…with 50 or 60 players didn’t fit on a single screen shot unless I reduced the size of the text to point where it couldn’t be read. haha :side:

I’ll just do a messy version each week. :slight_smile:

ok, thanks for the info Mike.

If you use Word (later version), you could save the document as PDF. If the forum would allow you could then paste the PDF into the post instead.

Don’t whether it would work but would be worth a try.
