 * Hi Tobias,
 * As said before, love your plugin and support! Donation was done immediately last
   time!
    I’ve got problems with the responsiveness using your responsive tables
   plugin. Sorry for asking such a general question, but do you have any suggestions
   how to get this table (for example) fit in screen?

 * Is it even possible, because what I read here it seems like the font had to be
   reduced a lot to smaller cell sizes, right? Or is there maybe any other solution?
   It seems like the pictures also don’t resize..
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The problem here basically comes from the very long words like “Motorspindelschutzsystem”.
   The browser can not add line breaks in those, so that they define the minimum
   width for the columns. You would indeed have to drastically reduce the font size
   for these long words to make the table fit, but then nobody could read anything.
 * The best approach that I see for this table is the `scroll` mode that the TablePress
   Responsive Tables Extension offers.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks for the advice.
    Unfortunately I can’t see any difference. I also tried
   it with different tables.
 * To sum up, I just need the code in the css for setting the screen size `@media(
   max-width: 1080px) {
 *  .tablepress-responsive-desktop th,
    .tablepress-responsive-desktop td { width:
   auto !important; border: none !important; }` and the shortcode at the page or
   article to show it `[table id=24 responsive=<scroll> /]` and set the mode, right?

 * Hi,
 * please try again with the Shortcode
 *     ```
       [table id=24 responsive=scroll /]
       ```
   
 * while using the “Text” editor instead of the “Visual” editor, as there are now
   some extra HTML tags like `<code` and `<pre>`, probably due to copy/paste.
 * The CSS code that you pasted will not help, as the browser will not obey the 
   width command, as the content simply needs more width.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I tried it in the text-editor, thanks for the hint. Okay, so I guess I’d have
   to change the table itself and list the videos from top to bottom to get it work.
   
   But thanks for your help, really great!

 * Hi,
 * from what I can see, there’s still a `<pre>` tag around the Shortcode…
 * But yes, if you don’t want to use scrolling, you’ll have to change the table 
   structure. This is simply a result of how tables work.

 * I can’t see this tag in the text editor.
    But no worrys, I’ll rearrange the site.
   Thanks a lot!
