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:
