This here's a "Player Info" table, which can be used to list player names, characters played, AIM/Email contact etc! I can't link to it in use since the places I use it are f-locked for player privacy, but I'm sure you get the idea from the sample above.

Colors:
header: darker grey = #cccccc, font = #666666
content: lighter grey = #efefef, font = #666666

If you want to credit me, just link back to

rp_tutorials. =)

Please comment if you use it, and I'll link it, if it's an open post! Also, I'd just like to know it's getting use.

darkanonymity uses it as an event calendar here.

Just wanted to let you know I used an edited version of this. The characters/journals looked great in the example, but not so hot once they were all different sizes. So I split it up into a Characters and a Journals row. Example if anyone wants/cares:

Name	Characters	Journal	AIM	Email
Name	Character Name	jane_doe	AIMName	email@urmama.com
Name	Character Name	jane_doe	AIMName	email@urmama.com
Name	Character Name	jane_doe	AIMName	email@urmama.com

...changed the colors to my liking, can't be bothered to change 'em back. ^^;

Thanks for the inspiration!

Just letting you know I've adapted this to use as an event calendar. It's awesomely simple to use for that purpose. It'll be in use as a player contact table too, once I've got around to making that page later on.

Here's the event table.

I changed the colours to suit the general FAQ/Rules layouts, as the colours were chosen to match the picture in the advert. Thanks for the table.

	This table is really beautiful. I'm going to snag and attempt, i use that term loosely, to modify it into a form of FT/PT Employee Schedule for a game I'm in. If I'm at all successful I will be sure to credit/link back so you can have a look. :] (Reply to this) (Thread)

Just wanted to let you know I snagged this. It hasn't been put into use yet, but if it doesn't end up locked, I'll let you know when it is.

Just two things. A couple of our players have more than one character...how do I add more than two? When I copied the coding onto the next line down, it messed up the rest of the table...putting the third and fourth characters in the Timezone column, and the fifth and sixth characters into the AIM column.

Also....would it be possible to make the columns a bit wider?

Man, I suck at coding!

Can you help, please?

	I personally just put a <br> between the character names all within the same cell and list them one after the other that way. As for making the columns wider, you can do that by changing the widths of each column in the very first section [where it says name etc]. That makes the changes apply to the whole table.

	Hi, I wanted to let you know that your table is getting some use at triwiz. We've kept the same colours because it fit with our #CCCCCC theme. The post is unfortunately locked, but I wanted to thank you. (Reply to this)

	Using it here for a character page, as well as for our Player Contact page. And possibly our PB page, depends on how simple I want to keep it. :D Thank you so much! (Reply to this)
