[Discussion] Do you want to make tables in posts?

The ability to make tables in posts was part of the more complex new post bar that gave us issues a while back, where the "quick reply" area wouldn't clear between visits (so, to make a new reply to something you already replied to, you had to erase/delete the box contents first).

As that was annoying as hell, we went for a simpler control bar for posts for the users. The Stratics Staff, retained the older one, bugs and all, because of the greater features.

However, that took away the ability for normal users to make tables in posts - tables that work really well for holiday trading and listing multiple items for sale in a single post (if anyone who has seen my Holiday trading posts have seen).

By request, we've now created a user group you can join, if you want access to that larger choice (see the control bar below and compare to what you got)

If you're willing to tolerate having to go back and erase for new replies, you can get this bar for most commands by joining the "Stratics Text Mastery Group" under "Join User Groups" in your profile.

You get commands like "remove formatting", strike-through, subscripts & superscripts, more controls over quotes and lists, as well as Tables and other items.

Hopefully, by the time we get around to implementing the next version of xenforo, the plug-ins won't conflict and create that "persistent reply text" issue, so we don't have to go with two different input control menus.
