Problem posting on forums - Tensdale - 03-03-2010

Why is it, if I try to copy/paste something that allready have spaces in it, this forum removes them when I paste it into the message?
Like take a look at this Thought Concept Diagram:

Thought Concept

And paste it into a .txt file it comes out just as it is shown on the website.
But when I paste it into a message here on the forums it turns out like this:

/^^^^^^^^^^^\ How A Mind Generates A Thought /^^^^^^^^^^^\
/ EYE \ CONCEPTS / EAR \
| _______ | | | | __________ | |
| / cat \!!!!|!!!|!| | / \ | |
| / image \---|---|-+ | ( Sentence )-------|-------------\ |
| \ recog / | |c| | \__________/ | | |
| \_______/ | |a| | | \ ______ | auditory | |
| recognition | |t| | | \/ Verb \ | | |
| of a cat | |s|e| | ( Phrase ) | memory | |
| initiates | | |a| ___V__ /\______/ | | |
| spreading | f| |t| / Noun \/ | | channel | |
| activation | i| | | ( Phrase ) | | ________ | |
| _______ | s| | | \______/ _V_____ | / \ | |
| / new \ | h|_|_| | /English\ | / "cats" \| |

| \ engram /---|--\ Psi /--/ Nouns \ \_____/ | \ "fish" / |
| \_______/ | \___/ \_______/-----------|---\______/ |



Why? I need this diagram to get shown properly so I can develop my AI character... But I don't really feel like spending the next hour using alot of spaces to make it all match perfect like in my link..

Any thoughts?

The forum ignores excessive spaces. I think it's over 2-3 spaces and it stops putting them into the post.

My advice, create some sort of an image and us an online hoster like imageshack or photobucket to host the picture and insert it in your post.

Yep, that was also my plan.. Just wanted to check if there was a simple solution so I wouldn't have to post an image of the code with an ugly white background or something similar.

Transparent background?

Okay first off, I'll need to change some text in the diagram to make it fit my AI..

In Notepad or something..
Now how on earth do you turn text like that into a image with a transparent background?

Gimp or Photoshop,

or create it with one of those
just make sure it isn't wider then 700 pixels,
699 is preferred;)

I don't really feel like learning to use Photoshop or the alike just so I can post some stupid diagram that would take me no longer than 2 secs if the spacing rule wasn't here. (Don't get me wrong. I understand why it's there)
