Is it possible to disable bb code in a particular posts and not the entire forum?

Can you specify what you mean by posts? As in first post in a thread, last post, or I assume you meant in certain threads or subforums.

You'll have to make a template hook that checks a threads location just before it's submitted.

Say I start a new thread with a table completely written in HTML. When I post it, it looks really messed up when I have bb codes allowed.

So I'd like to remove bb code in that particular thread.

Possible - but not without a modification, that probably doesn't exist at the moment.

You might be able to make a plugin at the global_start location that sets $vbulletin->options['allowedbbcodes'] to 0 (or whichever number needed) in certain forums. That option though is a strange one to have to set based on all the different options given in the vbtoptions checklist.

edit: whoops, you said just in some posts, not in a whole forum. Yuck! I'm not sure about that.

Well to make things easier.

What is the best way to post a table in a post? I have it made in html but is there something else I could use?

The only way to post a table in the post is to allow html (not recommended) or make some table bbcode (I've seen that around somewhere but don't have it installed so I don't have a link to it).

Why isn't HTML recommended?

It's a security risk. Malicious users could break your board if you allow html.

Why isn't HTML recommended?
Number one reason is XSS (Cross Site Scripting).

Search is in the upper right hand corner ^^

First hit for "table" "all mods" "titles only" - BB Code [table] (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107985&highlight=table)
