Quote a post with a table you like to see the coding. It will turn out something like this:

{table=head]Level | Base Attack Bonus | Fort Save | Ref Save | Will Save | Special
1st | +1 | +2 | +2 | +0 | Improved Unarmed Strike, Brawler’s Fists (1d6)
2nd | +2 | +3 | +3| +0 | Brawler Ability, Brawler's Reflexes
3rd | +3 | +3 | +3| +1 | Speak Softly, Mighty Boast
4th | +4 | +4 | +4 | +1 | Brawler Ability , Brawler’s Fists (1d8)
5th | +5 | +4 | +4 | +1 | Supernatural Brawler ability
6th | +6/+1 | +5 | +5 | +2 | Brawler Ability
7th | +7/+2 | +5 | +5| +2 | Hulking Roar
8th | +8/+3 | +6 | +6 | +2 | Brawler Ability, Brawler’s Fists (1d10)
9th | +9/+4 | +6 | +6 | +3 | Subtle Pump
10th | +10/+5 | +7 | +7 | +3 | Supernatural Brawler Ability, Brawler Ability
11th | +11/+6/+1 | +7 | +7 | +3 | Massive Brute
12th | +12/+7/+2 | +8 | +8 | +4 | Brawler Ability , Brawler’s Fists (2d6)
13th | +13/+8/+3 | +8 | +8 | +4 | Juggernaut
14th | +14/+9/+4 | +9 | +9 | +4 |Brawler Ability
15th | +15/+10/+5 | +9 | +9 | +5 |Supernatural Brawler Ability
16th | +16/+11/+6/+1 | +10 | +10 | +5 | Brawler Ability , Brawler’s Fists (2d8)
17th | +17/+12/+7/+2 | +10 | +10 | +6 | Boisterous Nature
18th | +18/+13/+8/+3 | +11 | +11 | +6 | Brawler Ability
19th | +19/+14/+9/+4 | +11 | +11| +6 | Champion
20th | +20/+15/+10/+5 | +12 | +12 | +6 | Supernatural Brawler Ability, Brawler’s Fists (2d10)
[/table]

That will give you this:

{table=head]Level | Base Attack Bonus | Fort Save | Ref Save | Will Save | Special
1st | +1 | +2 | +2 | +0 | Improved Unarmed Strike, Brawler’s Fists (1d6)
2nd | +2 | +3 | +3| +0 | Brawler Ability, Brawler's Reflexes
3rd | +3 | +3 | +3| +1 | Speak Softly, Mighty Boast
4th | +4 | +4 | +4 | +1 | Brawler Ability , Brawler’s Fists (1d8)
5th | +5 | +4 | +4 | +1 | Supernatural Brawler ability
6th | +6/+1 | +5 | +5 | +2 | Brawler Ability
7th | +7/+2 | +5 | +5| +2 | Hulking Roar

9th | +9/+4 | +6 | +6 | +3 | Subtle Pump
10th | +10/+5 | +7 | +7 | +3 | Supernatural Brawler Ability, Brawler Ability
11th | +11/+6/+1 | +7 | +7 | +3 | Massive Brute
12th | +12/+7/+2 | +8 | +8 | +4 | Brawler Ability , Brawler’s Fists (2d6)
13th | +13/+8/+3 | +8 | +8 | +4 | Juggernaut
14th | +14/+9/+4 | +9 | +9 | +4 |Brawler Ability
15th | +15/+10/+5 | +9 | +9 | +5 |Supernatural Brawler Ability
16th | +16/+11/+6/+1 | +10 | +10 | +5 | Brawler Ability , Brawler’s Fists (2d8)

18th | +18/+13/+8/+3 | +11 | +11 | +6 | Brawler Ability
19th | +19/+14/+9/+4 | +11 | +11| +6 | Champion
20th | +20/+15/+10/+5 | +12 | +12 | +6 | Supernatural Brawler Ability, Brawler’s Fists (2d10)
[/table]

Anyways, just strip out the things you want to change and put in what you want.

Scroll down to the bottom of this post. See that little box that says "posting rules"? Click on "vB code is on" and you'll see a list of what tags work on this forum. That should get you started.


Also, for a general rule of thumb, you can just google "How to make a table in Vbulletin."


And finally, there's some posts here you should be able to find by searching, but as near as I can tell, tables aren't one of the things that are customized.

[Rawhide]

Table code isn't included with vBulletin (not with the versions we've used anyway), so, all table codes used on various boards are effectively custom and there are different implementations. Some will make you define every row and cell with additional bbCode (i.e. [tr] and [td]), but this one will do all the hard work for you and can even do sorting.

[Qwertystop]

I just wish it was WYSIWYG, so that we wouldn't have to fiddle around with the code, which can still be sort of confusing to keep track of what column you're working in and all that, especially if you have a small screen so that the text wraps to another line.

[Dogmantra]

If you have a spreadsheet program (you can get one free at www.openoffice.org) then you can make your table in that, then copypaste the entire thing into Notepad. Between where cells were should be a large space, which you can copy and paste into "find and replace", replacing it with |

Then just copy the whole thing over onto the post reply page, shove a {table][/table] around it and bam you're done.

Yes, you could do that, but this:

is so much easier!

[Dogmantra]

That seems more complicated to me :smallwink:
(also if you want a table for another reason my method works without any tweaking)
