I don't quite understand why simple bbcode tables aren't allowed on CF. I found a very old message from Jeremy in which he says it is for security reasons, that bbcode tables would necessitate allowing HTML in messages, and I don't understand that. Here is a simple bbcode table:

Column 1Column 2
Column 3George
MikeHenry
LucyApril
Mary

No HTML that I can see.

Generally speaking, BBcode gets disabled due to concerns over cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Not sure if that's the case for this forum or not, but that's usually the issue.
