Columns in post body?

I would like to be able to make a list of names with 3 - 4 columns rather than a long single list down the left side of the text body. How would one do this?

Thanks in advance!!!

A list of what names? Do you have an image of what you want? And on what page? I can't tell from your description what you want.

Thanks for responding.
I Want to list member's names that have supported the forum via donations, but would like to make the list with columns rather than one long list that one would need to scroll way down to read.

name.............................................n ame........................... ........name...............................
name.............................................n ame........................... ........name...............................
name.............................................n ame........................... ........name...............................

only without needing the periods to create the space inbetween the names.

Hope that explains it better.

Well, you still haven't said anything about where you want this list, but basically, make an actual list - <ul><li>name1</li><li>name2</li><li>name3</li>etc and then just use css to make <ul> have a width of 100% and the <li> to have a width of 25% or 33%. Then they will all align themselves correctly (I actually wrote an article on this for use in vb4 forums which are lists).

I would like to be able to post this list in the body of any post. Just like I did in the reply to your previous post. I do not have html enabled for use in posting as reccommended by vBulletin due to possible security problems. I am away from home and my wife's laptop does not have a photo program or I would show a screenshot.

If you want to put it in posts, I guess you'll have to write some bbcode to do this. I think there is a <table> bbcode. Perhaps go find that and see if it does what you want.

Could this be made into a bbcode? I don't know how to go about it.

I would guess you could make it into bbcode. But, did you check out the table bbcode? I think that does what you want.

I'll hunt for it. Will post my findings. Thanks

I checked out the BB code table https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...26gt%3B+bbcode
but when attempting to upload the language pack, I got a message that it was for a vb version 3.6 and I'm runnin vb 3.8.4

I also spot cchecked gthrough the 38 pages and it doesn't look like it will work for me.

I allowed myself to use html and did the following test.

<html>
<body>

<table border="0" width="75%" cellpadding="10">
<tr>

<td width="25%" valign="top">
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
</td>

<td width="25%" valign="top">
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
</td>

<td width="25%" valign="top">
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
</td>

</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

This accomplishes what I would like, only the list doesn't start until quite a ways down the page after entering the text before the list.

the space between this sentence and the one above is aprox the space shown once the post is submitted
