<table border=1>
  <tr>
  <td>Row 1 col 1</td>
  <td>Row 1 col 2</td>
  <td>Row 1 col 3</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
  <td>Row 2 col 1</td>
  <td>Row 2 col 2</td>
  <td>Row 2 col 3</td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>
  <td>Row 3 col 1</td>
  <td>Row 3 col 2</td>
  <td>Row 3 col 3</td>
  </tr>

</table>

Is it possible to create a table within the post?

I tried above but as you can see, no luck.

Any ideas?
 
I've seen this done with these tags elsewhere, within vBulletin:

Cell 1cell 2
[td=2] Cell 3 [/td]

I think they're just disabled for GTP.
 
So this mean the best we can do is save our excel to Formatted Text (Space delimited) (*.prn) format and put it in code tag?

That's how I did it when I was posting results from BC5. If you have a look in the Board Challenge forum you'll see the results there.
 
This site used to have special vB tags for tables, but the problem was that if someone simply inserted a cell without the bounding table, it would completely screw up the forum formatting, so Jordan had to disable it.

Anyway, as has already been mentioned, you can save text in a space- or tab-delimited format, and the code tag will keep the formatting.
 
Of course, it's just a matter of flipping a switch. However, that's extremely dangerous and as Sage said, even the slightest mis-use of one of the table tags could completely distort the look of the pages.
 
Not to worry then Jordan!

Thanks for your reply! 👍
