Making an icon table

[pnr]

So you want that nice table everyone uses?
Piece of cake! It's mostly copy/paste, but you might need some guidance.

I'm so sorry to ask this. =[
When I use this table, specifically I am using table three right now
I get this HUGE gap between the first lot and the AC...do you know why this is an how I can fix it because it is driving me crazy like nothing else.

oh crap uhm... I have no idea actually. It has happened before, and I tend to get a line betwene the two sets. No idea why. These tables are sadly not perfect, but it takes forever to try to figure everything out and change it. Especially sinc eit's three tables and everyone seems to be handling it quite allright.

Have you tried messing with the stuff at the end of the theme set and beginning of the ACs?

And make sure you're not using Rich Text cause that fucks with everything.

Indeed. I'm definitly not using RT because I know that fucks it up like hardcore. I've tried messing with it. Would it be okay if I just post the theme's because they are fine and then put the AC's without a pretty table?

Good. It's just that I recently helped someone with it and it was all fucked and I made it work when I posted but then it didn't and it eventually dawned on me that people might actually use RT, which I had completely forgot about cause I do the basic html coding automatically when I write.

Yeah sure, do the theme table and then post the ACs in the same kind of table like structure but without the actual table code (basically just centered in lines of 5)

Question. What should I use when posting my GIFs. I don't think this format is going to work well as my GIFs are larger than icons. Also, in regards to posting all at once, that might be very bad for those with lower net speeds. How should I post them? Maybe break them up into groups? Let me know.

[pnr]

Yeah, that's a toughie. Caus eI seriously don't know O.o
It will obviously become way too heavy to use a table. Uhm. I would very much like the themes to be posted in order though.

It'd be fine for me if you just put them in lines specifing the theme in the line above, as such:

Alien, Alone, Angel, Angst
[gif goes heeeeeere] [gif goes heeeeeere][gif goes heeeeeere][gif goes heeeeeere]

etc

and break it up in posts but make a master post when you're done giving a few examples maybe, and then links to your other posts specifing the themes that could be found there. Sort of ike I did here for my scifiland Big Bang since I made several picspams. But instead of caps/points you'd write themes. Obv it doesn't have to look exactly like that, but you get what I mean.

If you want to have it sort of like the table and being able to post random themes, you could always make designated posts labeled something like "Themes Alien through Food" and add place holder pics.

How does that sound?

Ok. Sounds good. Back to work!
