     (...) Yes, please don't use FTX tables again... It's almost unreadable in a newsreader. Frank (20 years ago, 4-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)
    
         Re: US S@H Specials for Nov 3 - 9 Re: Was mislabelled... —David Koudys
     (...) Yes, but it looks terrific on the web, if I do say so myself ;) I know that when Tom posts, I'm always jumping back and forth, putting set numbers into the LUGNET set search to see exactly what they are, and I thought I'd save a step by (...)

      (...) I agree with you and always happen with me. I like FTX much better and easy to look picture and quickly read before i decide to order. I never use newsreaders (boring and no graphic) I wonder if Lugnet can do something to identify which user (...) (20 years ago, 4-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

It's too bad there isn't a way to show FTX on the web, but newsreaders get something more legible. Jason Spears | (URL) BrickCentral> | (URL) MichLUG> (...)

         S@H Specials formatting (was Re: US S@H Specials for Nov 3 - 9 Re: Was mislabelled...) —Brian B. Alano
     (...) It's true that for tables, FTX fails its objective of making formatted text readable in plain text. How does this look for a compromise?

      (...) I like it. However, I was just trying FTX---Had no idea what the fallout would be. Going by past years, this is Tom's baby--he's the one that has posted the specials 99.9 percent of the weekly phone specials and, besides my 'one-off' (which I (...)

      (...) but I thank you (...) Yes, it may be moot, but here's another stab, with images for FTX viewers, and a cleaner hyperlink for news readers: Set, Name, Regular, Sale Price, Link Clickits [LEGOSet 7503] Memo Minis 3.99 2.00 (URL) Racers [LEGOSet (...)

      This would work too, but I'm wondering if the Set link info should go after the plaintext, i.e.: Set Number, Name, Regular Price, [Sale Price], Link ===...=== Clickits -------- 7503 Memo Minis 3.99 [2.00] (URL) [LEGOSet 7503] Note - I use (...)

          Re: S@H Specials formatting (was Re: US S@H Specials for Nov 3 - 9 Re: Was mislabelled...) —Thomas Stangl
      Hm, well, the point is moot - I post via Communicator, and when it sends plaintext, the Lugnet server prints it as plaintext, so the formatting isn't showing online. So any time I post, you won't see the pics. Because I am NOT about to go to the (...) (20 years ago, 4-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

      (...) <snip> It works, at least in that it has a direct link to the set in question, but without the little pictures it's not nearly as nice. However the raw form does looks much more legible.

     I can try to do this in the future. Should be simple enough to add another macro to my keyboard util. FYI, odds are that I will not get the Specials all of Nov - thanks to having our rental house sold out from under us, we purchased (well, *are (...)
