We did not had that capability before the migration.

Unfortunately, the best workaround is to create the table in excel, take a screenshot, and upload the table using the newly unveiled attachment function.

I have used that capability many times on the CardBoard. Maybe not for a year, but many times over a number of years

I've also used that feature in the past. Another workaround was to use the monospace [code] tags. That feature is still active.

Yes, that used to work. It seems like the bbcode in your message is doing something, but obviously not making a table. I have a vague idea where to look for what got dropped... Will take a look soon if George or Yvonne don't get there first.

We have a "Table Generator" plugin installed, but it's not working correctly. I found two bugs:

(1) Fixed The table syntax it implements required you to give the width of the table in percent in the table tag, with syntax like

Code:
[table=100]

I've fixed this now by adding a second regex for the table tag that doesn't require =width, making it optional. (Note: uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin will lose this fix.)

(2) The "generate table" button doesn't show up. This looks harder to fix. The project details page at https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?action=view&pid=276 suggests a fix, but I don't see how/if it applies to templates for the theme we're currently using. This plugin is from 2014 and has never been updated, so it's not too surprising it doesn't work.

I think I remember trying this feature once when it still worked and I wasn't too impressed with it, so I'm not sure how worthwhile making it work would be. I think it just generated some tags for you as you typed in the table data.

Here's a table with 25% width, just to try that feature:

Stanford	Cal
31	10

This bbcode produced it:

Code:
[table=25]

[tr]

[th]Stanford[/th]

[th]Cal[/th]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]31[/td]

[td]10[/td]

[/tr]

[/table]

Thanks, Tim! When I looked back at the sample table (with no width specified) that didn't work, it was working now. Yay!
