    Since most forums enable BBCodes, I thought compiling a list of them would be cool...

    I've never seen most of those Wayne Luke, are they in the current incarnation of vB? Planned for a future version? Looks like I need to experiment with them.

    They would be codes you would implement yourself and are actually fairly common on customized websites. They are all codes that I have used in the past. I don't use audio and video anymore because we have AME for vBulletin and they aren't needed anymore.

    Table is great, a bit of a pain since all the syntax has to be added by hand but I find it indispensable for parts lists. I don't have an an icon for it's pertty much only used by staff since most of the members would be lost.

    I found a much easier table BB code on vBulletin.org and it's so simple. Here's the usage:

    Code:
    [table="head"]Username|Donation Amount|WPT %|WPT Contribution
    Jenny|$10|60%|$6
    Lilla47|$20|60%|$12
    Heather|$20|75%|$15
    Lineola|$20|75%|$15
    Ineke|$15|60%|$9
    | | | 
    ||Total|$57[/table]
    And here is the output: Lineolated Parakeet Forum


    Seems to do the same thing that yours would but is much easier. ;)

    It's even a product, meaning you don't have to add the custom BB code yourself! :D

    Nick, do you use the javascript sortable option for the table code?

    I just added the table code and it's working great. But, how do you add a 'space' between the text and the cell edge? The text is right up against the cell.

    I'm not sure. I just browsed through some of the posts in that thread and it looks like you can apply your own CSS definitions. So you might want to look into playing around with that. ;)

    Hmm, that could be a really useful mod. Today is quickly becoming my day to add new mods anyway...
