And here we go again!

Notes:

- Kynt seems kind of high-maintenance.
- Jet and Cord are less bright than I suspected from their apparently hugely favourable edit last time.


If anyone can tell me why there is so much space between the heading and the table, I'd appreciate it. I can't figure it out.

Notes:

Sorry I'm just getting to posting now. I really have no good excuses, just a bunch of crappy ones.

I liked this RB, it required a bit of skill, but not too terribly much.

Ron sucked at form, which was nice to see, since he's so damned critical.


ETA: Yay! Neat and tidy table!

- Way to go Big Easy! Actually completing a Roadblock is a good thing.


Yay again

Just dropping in to say 'hi!' to you, give you a clap for your work on tallying the roadblocks so far ... and also to give you a reason why there's a space in between when you do a table.

For some reason, the language in the code reads your table and thinks it's supposed to enter an empty space before your table for each line that you have in the table.

To fix the problem, put your table together and when it's all ready, eliminate the carriage returns you did to move onto each next line -- that is, go to the start of each line and backspace so they all run together as if it's one continuous line.

So instead of:

<table border="number" cellspacing="number" cellpadding="number">
<tr>
<td> Text in first row, first column</td><td> Text in first row, second column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Text in second row, first column</td>
<td> Text in second row, second column</td>
</tr>
</table>


Make it like so:

<table border="number" cellspacing="number" cellpadding="number"><tr><td> Text in first row, first column</td><td> Text in first row, second column</td></tr><tr><td> Text in second row, first column</td><td> Text in second row, second column</td></tr></table>

Yes. It`s a colossal pain in the butt to do it this way week in and week out, but it`s the only way to eliminate these spaces. What I did when we had the NFL football pool on OT Sports, was to type it up in Word with the lines separated, update it weekly and then copy it over onto here and backspace between each line on here before posting.

Good luck!

Thank-you so much, Pepe! I even asked our IT guy (so I had to admit to being an internet weirdo) and he couldn't tell me why there were all these breaks. Which is when I opted for the "...", which I have hated every time I do this because it isn't nicely lined up. *waves to boo*

Yay!

Notes:
This was a cool task. China is proving to be quite a rich source of new dinosaurs, so this was a good task. Also, I really like Dilophosaurus.

If Margie could do it, I'm not sure why Jaime couldn't. Man, does she ever whine.

Notes:

- Cool Roadblock title, might have been a better task.
- That tree where the last holy guy was sitting looked like the one from a few TARs back when they had to answer telephones.
- Kent promised Gary he wouldn't screw him over, then he did. Pfft.

I think Zev has to do the next task or he and Justin could have a lot of problems in the run in.

"RE: Episode 7"
Posted by Seana on 04-12-11 at 09:47 PM
Vyxsin's in the same position.



"RE: Episode 7"
Posted by Starshine on 04-13-11 at 04:32 AM
True, but I think Vyxsin has a better shot at any physical task than Zev does

Lovely cheese Mooney
