Is there a way to adjust column width to a table and I just can't seem to figure it out? I posted a table in a thread and figure the width could be a fraction of it and still be quite readable.

You mean in the text editor? No there isn't. It doesn't seem possible with bbcode. But it adjusts automatically and I think your table in that thread looks fine.

I'm not sure if i mean the text editor. I click on the picture of a table and one magically appears.
This is a 1x1 table. Also known as a box.  |

Yes, what you see up there is the text editor helpfully translating formatting into neat symbols for you.
If instead you toggle the BB code (the brackets symbol next to the disc symbol to save a draft), your post looks like this:
That's where you see the raw code for the formatting. In some cases, you can add stuff there that goes beyond what the editor presets offer, e.g. in case of text colours where you could insert other RGB values.
It doesn't work for tables though, it's responsive and automatically adjusts to fit the width of the whole post, so the width of every single column decreases with the number of columns.
There are more options to go really crazy with other code but I wouldn't suggest trying that, so I guess you can either use the existing table option as it is, or create your own table in another program of your choice and then upload a screenshot of it.
