That's why the [url=http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#h-11.1]W3C: HTML 4.01 Specification : Tables : Introduction to tables[/url] says :[quote]Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.[/quote]Forums are a border line case. One can see them as tabular datas (contents) while another can see them as a list of contents. So a TABLE is perfectly acceptable in this case, but it is as acceptable as an OL could be.
