Topic: Reverse Alphabet Marathon - November

[richierich]

November is reverse alphabet month. Watch one title that ends in each letter of the alphabet plus a number plus an exclamation mark or symbol, so 28 in total to view 
If no titles are owned for an end letter, move down one  - example...no title ending in J, watch 1 with 2nd to last letter J such as Cujo

Everyone is welcome to join me in the marathon although I know there are a few already established for Halloween month, no prize for finishing it first, just have fun watching your films with a touch of quirkiness involved 

NOTE: 11/11 ADDED 7 NEW 'SYMBOL' TITLES AS I WAS DOING TOO WELL - SO 35 IN TOTAL TO VIEW 

Discussion for this months marathon should be on another thread, just lists of films here please.

"Over the line!" (John Goodman, The Big Lebowski)    I've finished, so mark it, Dude... 

[lyonsden5]

I've redone the layout, as a table, thanks to both Ya_Shin and Tom for the idea.

Something I'd like to do next time.... is I can figure out how that is 

I'll probably just steal the formatting from one oy the existing ones set up here 

[richierich]

It would be good Rick if someone with better IT knowledge designed a template we can all use for these marathons? HINT HINT

Mine is a pain in the ass trying to line up all the time - there must be an easier way 

[RossRoy]

Just quote my post and use that if you want.

Each line of text is a row in the table, then your data goes in between the <td></td> tag (of course, the actual code uses [ and ], but you get the idea)

[Najemikon]

I nicked Tom's to try and decipher it!  But I couldn't get my head around it, so I found this website http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=help;page=post which was very useful. I stared at it for about 20 minutes and finally sussed it! 

Expanding on what Sebastien said, the key term is "Nesting"; establish a table (one per post: "table" & "/table"), which can hold many rows; establish a row inbetween the table tags (one per line: "tr" & "/tr"), which can hold many columns; establish a column ("td" & "/td") inbetween the row tags. Easy! Erm...
