I appreciate this is a Jolt, and perhaps even just a general vB, question, so if you feel it should be shunted over to General, I don't mind. I have to confess I don't know too much about vB code. Is it possible to build tables into forum posts? I'm not looking for anything complex or dynamic; just a 'not taking screenshots of Excel' option.
I don't think so. I don't believe vB code can do that, only HTML, and that's turned off. Of course, I'm probably just as inexperienced as you are, but I don't think it's possible.

No screenshots? I'm stumped.
I suppose you could try to make one in ASCII art form:
X | 1 | 2 | 3 |
--------------
Y | a | b | c |
et cetera.
Not great, but it's all I can think of.

I don't think you can, but if there's a way, you'll find it here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/misc.php?do=bbcode).

Yeah, I checked that. There's no mention.
Oh well, doesn't really matter.

Short answer? No.
Your best bet is to use a monspace font, like Courier New, so that everything is the same spacing... makes easier ascii charts.

I don't believe vBulletin code has the capability to build tables.

Ah, thanks. I hadn't thought of doing it like that. That will work. Thank you. (You can lock this now, if you want.)
