Forums » Suggestions & Development Discussion » Tables & Always/Never Charts for Groups?

I've been working on a group, lately, which would benefit from having a few charts, if only to make things neater and easier to browse. I noticed, however, that there's no real chart option (beyond wrangling with column BBCode, which doesn't look quite as tidy as I'd prefer) when editing groups.

Is this a feature that could be implemented? Would other people have use for it? I certainly would.

I really like the sound of this. :) I can also see a lot of people making use of it.
I support and would love some proper table BBCode for everyone to be able to use! Tables can be handy for prettying up information in character profiles, too. :D

We do have columnar BBCode that can be used to do super basic tables, as the OP mentioned.

Always/Never widgets were intended to showcase a player's specific RP desires, and don't translate quite so directly for most groups. What sort of info were you wanting to put into these tables, Hooke? :) Maybe that would lead us toward what type of widget would fill this gap.
I kinda want an Always/Never chart for groups, too- it's good for saying what is and isn't acceptable in roleplay on the forums, or in a character. I'd definitely be able to say what goes and what doesn't, easier and efficiently with one of them handy dandy charts.

This more or less sums up much of my reasoning.

Though technically you can use the Always/Never chart and flexible stats widgets to make tables, there really isn't a corresponding widget you can "cheat" with in this way, when editing groups.

(But potentially more flexible table tools for everyone would be awesome for the obsessively finicky, such as myself. XD

OR. The ability to frame or box-in text. I would love to be able to do this, in groups or on my character sites. It would really help visually organize space, which is important to me.)
