You need to use a monospaced font to view tabs. If they aren't lined up it's because your browser hasn't been assigned one to use. A monospaced font is one which every letter shares an equal amount of space vs. a font that does not. You'd need to get into your browser settings to assign a font for monospaced viewing.
A few monospaced fonts include Courier and Fixedsys but there are many. This Forum has a custom "Tab" feature we added that can force s a monospaced font. Examples below, first of one not using, and then one using the "Tab" feature which is a custom button accessed from Advanced Posting.
No monospaced font assigned:
|-----2-0-2---2-------2-0-2---2---|-----3-2-3---3-------3---3---3---|
|---0-------0---0---0-------0---0-|---2-------2---2---2---2---2---2-|
|-0---------------0---------------|-0---------------0---------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|

Monospaced font assigned using Tab feature that forces its use:
|-----2-0-2---2-------2-0-2---2---|-----3-2-3---3-------3---3---3---|
|---0-------0---0---0-------0---0-|---2-------2---2---2---2---2---2-|

For folks reading this that don't know about the Tab feature in Advance posting mode, here's what that button looks like:
Insert your tablature into a post, highlight (select) all tablature, hit that button and it'll assign a monospaced font.
