Giving all users HTML capabilities is a pretty significant security risk, I think. Plus, you would end up with many incredibly obnoxious posts by people who discover the blink tag for the first time.

Yeah, giving regular users full access to HTML would be madness. I'm even a little skeptical of giving it to mods. Some day a rogue mod is going to insert a nasty little SQL injection and screw up the whole site. Or even worse, start abusing the <blink> tag.

An alternative solution is to install a mod allowing users to create tables via BBCode. Not sure if such a mod exists for UBB.threads, but I know it exists for various other forum platforms. I guess it's pretty moot now though, since a switch to new forum software is supposed to be pretty imminent.
