We are very sorry to say this Intern, but the tables all look just fine to us - in all skins and on all sizes of computer screen - according to our 'testers' anyway.
Frankly, your tables are the ones which don't look too good. You should only use tags as *headers* - they are not for use in all areas and a lot of your coding always needs reworking. The whole point of tables is that all entries line up correctly - looking again at yours you can surely see that, in the first one 'Leigh' doesn't line up with the other team names and, because of the close proximity of the results, is tricky to read. In the next three results sections, both the scores and the teams are erratically laid out and tricky to read and, in the final one, again, the team names are all askew and the whole table is packed too tightly together.
We am surprised that you have only mentioned this now - this format has been used since the start!
We did ask you at the start to conform to the template provided and offered to help out. It takes around an hour to bring your entries up to scratch - what with spelling mistakes, misuse of capitals and overuse of BR/> tags.
We realise that you, as you stated in another forum, spent a lot of time on them, but we did say from the outset that we always reserve the right to work on articles submitted to The Post to bring them up to current standards.
