Hi, Bob
IHub's "pre" works for me. I haven't had as good results on other sites. When I have to do tables on iHub, I create them off-line using spaces for alignment and post them using the "pre /pre" tags.
Is there any possibility that the WordStar method could be implemented? It was very flexible. I haven't seen its like in a long time. It consisted of a user-created "ruler line" with symbols for standard tabs, right-justified tabs and decimal tabs.
Not all old ideas were bad ideas.
Incidentally, I agree with those who favor the current iHub user-interface. "New" stopped lighting my fire a long time ago.
