How To Add a Table to your Posts

Note: The Table function has changed since vBulletin 3 (affects posts made before Nov. 2017).

Sometimes, it is useful to be able to put data in a table within your posts. This allows information to be sorted better and be more organized.

When you start a new post or reply to an existing one, you are using the standard editor. In order to add or edit a table, you need to switch to the advanced editor. to do this, click on the "Go Advanced" button, on the bottom right of the editor:


You will then see the following icons on the toolbar, that can be used for creating and changing a table:

Insert Table	Use this to create the table.
Table Properties	Change the settings for the table
Delete Table	Remove the table (careful)
Insert Row Before	Insert a row above the current row
Insert Row After	Insert a row below the current row
Delete Rows	Remove one of more rows from the table
Insert Column Before	Insert a column to the left of the current column
Insert Column After	Insert a column to the right of the current column
Delete Columns	Remove one or more columns from the table
