No kidding, hope you can find a fix between that and the dynasty reports....that's a real big pain.

If you can't, it's really not THAT big of a deal. The find and replace idea will work just fine, it'll just be time consuming.
Yeah, caught me a bit by surprise. I thought maybe, if anything, the new table stuff would have converted over from the old format to the new format on it's own. Sadly not.Originally Posted by gschwendt
Fuck, now I gotta relearn how to do tables again as well as edit my ginormous amount of tables in my thread...
Yeah, it's all good. In terms of actually putting in new information, these new tables are MUCH user friendly, as the table itself is already laid out, you can easily center it and everything, as oppose to centering each individual section, it centers the entire thing if you want, etc. You don't have to keep typing | repeatedly between information. So overall, it's a much nicer and easier format. The big thing right now is just updating and switching the tables in old posts to the new format.
Yeah the only thing that really sucks, is that you can't even see the old ones. Not even in an unformatted way.
JB has a lot of work to do in the TGA threadsI thought about that. Pretty much everything in the TGA is tabled formats. Got a lot of updates to do there.
Yeah, while it took a while to redo everything, I was able to get quite a few posts from the beginning and my first couple games of season 1 in my dynasty updated, so it's coming along. It's not too bad. The real pain in the ass in terms of updating the format is going to be the bowl games, the conference standings, the coaching carousel, etc, at the end of season 1. Those tables could take me a while.
On a semi-related note, can we have more of the emoticons in the little pop up menu for the quick reply box or is that all that you can put there? Even if you can just put the ones that are normally used (not the logo ones and all that), that would be great. Some of them I know the code for and some of them I don't so I end up having to use the "Go Advanced" method of posting to add those cause I can never remember the code for them.
Yeah... looks like there's not a good way to do it. The problem is that the old tables we had were a hack that some guy created and they actually hadn't been updated in over three years... they just still worked. Therefore, there wasn't an automatic way to convert them.
One way you can consider doing it is to recreate the table in Word and then paste it directly from that. Obviously that doesn't help a whole lot since you can't see the current table, so a find/replace is probably the best bet.
I did see where one guy restored a read-only backup of his forum into a separate forum, then that allowed people to copy & paste those tables. I'm going to investigate that route... not sure if we're allowed by our license to have a second copy of the forums, even if it's just for testing or temporary.
Once again, sorry guys
Done. I've got it set at 27 now (was 15 before). Were you looking for even more (namely the dynasty smilies?) or does that cover things?
It's all good man. Like I said, I actually do like these new tables better than the old ones, because you can set it up exactly how you want it from the very beginning, how many rows, how many columns, have it all centered, etc right from the very beginning, create it and have it all laid out, then just go and type in what you need to. Much easier and convenient than typing |||| over and over between information in the tables. Right now, at least for us dynasty guys, it's just trying to get the stuff from the old tables switched to the new tables. That's the only issue for me. Otherwise, I love the new tables. They'll make things quicker after games since I'll have the actual physical table already fully created.Yeah... looks like there's not a good way to do it.

That's perfect. No need for the dynasty smilies since you have to go into "Go Advanced" for all the table formatting and such. Just figured, for the normal, everyday posting, it would be nice to have all the smilies that normal people would use available to them in the "Quick Reply" box.
Maybe since Tommy is admin, he can go in and fix the TGA tables for me

Or you could just give full control to Mors for the day to allow him to edit it all out. This would be a blast to read back through
The thoughts of the changes could be priceless
Well, a good league commissioner would want to keep all of that stuff offline for historical purposes in Excel or something similar and then you could just do it all yourself easilyMaybe since Tommy is admin, he can go in and fix the TGA tables for me

Alright, an update.
vbulletin does allow for multiple installs but not anything that we can allow the public to access.
"Such a test forum must be password protected, and not made available to the general public at any time."
So for now, that solution is out the window, though I've got a follow-up question regarding that so we'll see.
However, one workable solution I've come up with in order to convert your tables manually...
1) Edit your post in Source Mode (the A/A at the top-left)
2) Copy your text from source mode
3) Open Excel or Open Office and in Column B, paste the contents of your post
4) Do a find/replace for | and replace it with [/td][td]
5) In column A, add [tr][td] in front of every line (obviously for the first line, you'll have to add it in-between the [table] tag)
6) In column C, add [/td][/tr]
7) Copy & Paste Columns A-C into your post (while staying in Source Mode)
That should give you the majority of the table corrections, however there still might be some cleanup if you used table switches (head, width, etc.) As well, if you want the line grids to show, use the switch "class: grid" in your opening [table] tag
I know it's not perfect and isn't infinitely easier, but it should be somewhat easier. I'll continue to update anything else that I can share.

he's trying!
It actually doesn't take that long to edit it. I'm about to get started on the rest of my stuff for my dynasty report thread now. I figure a few hours, at the most, and it'll be done and then I won't have to worry about it anymore.
Agreed. At least he's trying to find a work-around. I have probably the most posts with tables out of everyone that need to be fixed with my dynasty thread, and I'm taking it all in stride. I'm going to work on stuff over the next couple days when I can and get it all switched over and am alright with it. As I said in a previous post, personally, I actually like this new formatting for tables. It's much more streamlined in the WYSIWYG mode, and much quicker to type in information, so I'm happy with it. The hassle is just updating tables in previous posts, but it'll just take some time to sit down and do it, that's all. Nothing to get worked up about.
Yeah, I was able to update my entire Dynasty History, Coach History, season 1 schedule, and first two games in season 1, got all of that done in maybe an hour or so. So all added up, it'll take awhile, but nothing horrible.
