Tables bbcode

Can we get the table bbcode so we can make tables in posts?

[table]
[row]
[col]Row one col one[col]row one col two
[row]
[col]row two col one[col]row two col two
[/table]

I just added two "mods" on my own board, first this and then this and it seems to work well. I think we could use this as people like pup55 are always trying to put tables into posts and it just never looks good.

Either that or allow the <table> html tag, but I don't think that's the way to go at all.

Here's an example:

How often would such tabeling be used by board members? As a free site I could easily see this becomeing a real PITA for the mods and operators, and with a few exceptions I don't think it would get used much.

Just my 2 cents.

I'd use it and be willing to teach pup55 how to do it. Smile

It might even catch on!
