Hi, I need help formatting my post. I saw how another user set up theirs, especially with the fandom lists side by side and the original prompts with images and the spoiler thingies side by side. I would like to do something similar but I am unsure how to format it with the bbcode. If anyone knows, please help me <3

There are a lot of helpful tips in this thread as far as doing fancy BBCode.  That specific format uses the [ table ] tag, which is indexed in the 'White Magic' part of the second post.

You will need to add center tags on the outside of your tables.

[center-] Table crap goes here [/center-]

When you write the center tags, remove the      -      I put in there.

I did do that and it still won't center

Odd I cannot figure out why its not working either. I could tinker with it a little and see if I can figure out why for you. Unless someone else can help.

I would really appreciate that, thank you so much for your help <3 I am posting it without the center alignment code bc it goes goofy if I copy paste it

We lost the ability to center tables in the big Epocalypse two Octobers ago and the site was upgraded. There's nothing we can do about it.

You can, however, fake it by making use of invisible blocks or floating images. There's 1000px of space once a post has been made (don't be deceived by preview space, because you lose some of that to the user sidebar when you post). So if you want to center, can wedge whatever you want to post between two invisible images (or just spaces in a blank table column) that eat up the sides and force it into the middle - or one column on the left that pushes everything to the side if you don't want borders on both sides.
