Internet tablature has to be written in a fixed width font like "courier new". If it is not, then it will look all jumbled like this.
e :-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
B :-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
G :----------------------3---3---0----|----------------------6---6---0----|
D :--3-----3-3---x-x-x-x-3---3---0----|--6-----6-6---x-x-x-x-6---6---0----|
A :--3-----3-3---x-x-x-x-1---1---0----|--6-----6-6---x-x-x-x-4---4---0----|
E :--1-----1-1---x-x-x-x--------------|--4-----4-4---x-x-x-x--------------|
But if you use the font "courier new", everything will line up correctly. You will sometimes see a tab like the example above on the Internet. What you can do is copy and paste into a word processing program and change the font.

There are a couple of ways that you can post tabs in this forum and have the formatting look correct. Both involve this message boards build in formatting codes.

You can either use the [FONT=courier new] tag, or even shorter you could use the [CODE] tag. This will automatically format the tab to a fixed with font. Place those tags before the tab example, and then after the example you need to put a closing tab..... I can't show you the exact closing tab or you will not see it, you would just see the previous text formatted differently, but it is in this format [/TAG]. Be sure to read the explanation in the link above and you will get it.
