The table's updated. Josh moves to 216th!  Level on points, but just behind Jeff Morrison, as Jeff has 45 points from Grand Slams & masters series events & Josh has "just" 40.


just one point behind Bloomers!

That would be lovely.


Making the surfaces faster is really logical. Hewitt, Flip, Arthurs, Guccione and most of their other players thrive on faster courts, so why play it on something that is closer to clay?

The table's updated: Josh goes level with Nunez and Jeanpierre on 190 points. He's now WR 207 (or will be in the 18/12 rankings), ahead because of his 40 points from those GS qualies!


He's British number 5!


Richard drops to WR 214, and to British number 6.

Josh has really stolen a march on the other Brits by appearing in these two tournaments and performing so well!


I hope he wins tomorrow and hits that magic 200 mark!

Could someone tell me in plain and simple English (no computer jargon, please), about what I need to do to make a cool table like you people make?


I'll need to learn it someday. So I'll have a go after my exams.

How d'you man Arka? how to get it formatted on the messageboard properly? or how to set up a spreadsheet to calculate it?

Thanks for helping me!

I mean the formatting part. Spreadsheets are part of my coursework.

Ok, that's easier....


stand by for the first lesson:


the first thing to remember is that Activeboard's formatting doesn't work so well, so no matter which font you choose from their drop- down box, the output is going to be Verdana. So you need to get the font to change in a different way.


The second thing is that to do a table, you need what's called a "proportional" font. That's one where all the letters are the same width: an "i" is as wide as an "m".


So, in Verdana, it's really difficult to get the columns to line up:


iiiiiiiiii   is ten letter "i"s
mmmmmmmmmm is ten letter "m"s.


 wheras in a proportional font, such as courier on your pc, all the letters are the same width, and they'll line up:
iiiiiiiiii is ten letter "i"s, 
mmmmmmmmmm is ten letter  "m"s


So you can line up columns very easily:


column    one
column    two
and       three
or        four


To get the font to go proportional, you need to use what's called a "tag". A tag is text, which is enclosed in a square bracket: []


the tag for proportional text is 

[pre] at the start of the text and
[/pre] at the end.


OK, that's the first lesson!
