 * I particularly like the scrolling function this is shown in the preview. Is it
   possible to do that on the post page.
 * I assume you have to set a maximum shown on the screen before the scroll bar 
   was needed. This would be in place of pagination.
 * In one column I am using an iframe Youtube call (300px). The more items I enter,
   the slower the load. I expect the pagination to help but I’d rather have the 
   scroll if it would save load time. I’d like the scroll whether is save load time
   or not. LOL
 * I’ve tried all the table plugins – this is by far the best.
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * I’m not really sure what scrolling feature you are talking about here… Could 
   you maybe post the URL or a screenshot about where you found this?
 * Thanks!

 * Here is the page under construction using the pagination feature. Disregard the
   text under the table. That is being added a little at a time.
    [Normal Page](http://perioddrama.com/?page_id=696)
 * On the List of Tables page, you have Preview option that allows you to see the
   table without expanding the entire page. See the link below. You will notice 
   in the link below how there is a scrollbar where I can see the entire contents
   on the one page instead of using the pagination. I was wondering if using a scrollbar
   function, instead of pagination can be done or be added as an alternate feature
   for the post page?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link and the description!
    Now I now what you mean 🙂 The scrolling
   that you see in the preview is only possible because the table is part of an 
   iframe modal window. Something like this is not really possible or useful when
   the table is shown on the frontend. However, there’s different scrolling mechanism
   that you could you. You can see it in action here: [http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/scroll_y.html](http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/scroll_y.html)
 * Now, unfortunately, that scrolling can not be used in WP-Table Reloaded, but 
   in the official and designated successor of WP-Table Reloaded, which I’m currently
   working on. It is called TablePress and available at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tablepress/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tablepress/).
   However, to use this specific feature, you will have to wait for version 0.8-
   beta, which I will release next week, or use the current developer version from
   the GitHub repository.
    So, my suggestion is that you switch now from WP-Table
   Reloaded to TablePress, and also already change the Shortcode of your table to
 *     ```
       [table id=2 datatables_scrolly="500px" /]
       ```
   
 * Once you then update to 0.8-beta, the table will automatically use the scrolling.

 * This sounds like a real winner. I am looking forward to it. Thank you so much
   for a great script and for being a coder on top of your users questions. When
   I settle for a script, the authors promptness to help will always win the day
   for me, often exceeding the functionality of the script itself.

 * I’m importing but the custom CSS is not being read properly.
 * Should it still read “table-reloaded” call?
 *     ```
       .wp-table-reloaded-id-2 .column-4 {
         width: 300px;
       }
       .wp-table-reloaded-id-2 .column-1 {
         width: 75px;
       }
       .wp-table-reloaded-id-2 .column-2 {
         width: 75px;
       }
       ```

 * Hi,
 * great to hear that his will help you 🙂
 * And sorry about the failed “Custom CSS” import. Not sure why this didn’t work.
   Fortunately, you can easily do this manually. Please replace the CSS that you
   posted with this (which I also shortened and sorted a little bit):
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-2 .column-1,
       .tablepress-id-2 .column-2 {
         width: 75px;
       }
       .tablepress-id-2 .column-4 {
         width: 300px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
