 * Holy crap, you have some very old parameters in there! `do_pattern` and `thumbnail_selection`
   have been deprecated for a very long time now! o.O
 * Anyways, you’re missing the TD tag. It should be like this:
 * `[wpp range=weekly stats_comments=0 stats_views=0 thumbnail_width=100 thumbnail_height
   =100 wpp_start="<table>" post_html="<tr><td>{thumb} {text_title}</td></tr>" wpp_end
   ="</table>"]`

   I can see what’s going on?

 * The problem is here: `wpp_start="<table width="80%">"`. Use single quotes when
   adding attributes like `width`, `cellpadding`, etc. like this: `wpp_start="<table
   width='80%'>"`.

 * Hi there!
 * To remove borders, you can use the [_border_ attribute](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_table.asp):
 * `wpp_start="<table width='80%' border=0>"`
 * Alternatively, you can also add the following to your theme’s stylesheet (style.
   css):
 *     ```
       table {
           border:none;
       }
       ```

 * thanks again hector, got it via CSS.
 * One last Question: A numbering of the articles isnt possible, i suppose?
 * and / or: My theme has such a numbering integreated. you you see a fix within
   shortcode to display it like that or in that direction?

 * The easiest way to have the list numbered is by using the OL tag:
 * `[wpp range=weekly stats_comments=0 excerpt_length=100 post_type=post stats_views
   =0 limit=50 thumbnail_width=50 thumbnail_height=50 wpp_start="<ol>" post_html
   ="<li>{thumb} <span style='font-weight:600; font-size:1.1em'>{title}</span> {
   summary}</li>" wpp_end="</ol>"]`
 * … but then, you wouldn’t be able to use a table 😛
