Tables and blank space above it

Unread post by Considerate_ »

I've more or less figured out how to make and use tables on the forum... Except I'm doing something wrong! Whenever I make a table, it starts filling in blank space atop it, artificially pushing my tables further down in the post. It becomes more pronounced the longer the table is as demonstrated below:
[table]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]

[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My[/td][td]tables[/td][td]makes[/td][td]weird[/td][td]spaces[/td][/tr][/table]

Warning, really long table and subsequently really long blank space above it:

Does someone have a suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for clearing that up for me Narshe!

*twitches*... but... that means it'll be one long line... *twitches*

Yeah, it's a big blob of forum script :lol:
But looks neat and orderly once completed!
