I've been organizing info in a post and have found a table to be most helpful in displaying the information I wish to showcase. The problem is I have absolutely no way of knowing how to set up a table in a post. I've tried using html and I've tried the weird "
" button but nothing happens when I go to preview the post and a message "no code is needed here" shows up in place of where that table button is placed.

Is there a specific way to setting up a table in a post? Can we set up tables at all? Are the other table buttons supposed to be dimmed like that? o__o I need help prease.
 
Already made a post like this in the Clan Studio back when I had to help Cali out, so I'll help you out on this one. =]

1.
Make sure you are in Advanced Mode.

2.
At the top left; your post options, under B, I, U, you see nine table options.

Click on #1to create a table.

Rows: From top to bottom, how many rows you want available.
Columns: How horizontal 'options' will your table have?
Width: Usually set this to 500px, depending on the Columns.
Table Style: When creating/editing go for FULL GRID. When finilizing, (edit the table) and go for No borders.
Alignment: This is up to you, center to left, right or middle.

Example: 4 Rows, 3 Columns, 500px Width, Style: Full Grid, Alignment: Center.

Editing a Table

4.

After you made the table, you're going to edit it. Click somewhere INSIDE the current table, and hit #2 on the Table Option board.
'Table properties.', you're going to change the Table Style from Full Grid to No Borders when you're done editing/making the board.
If it looks like this, you're doing it right!:

Title One
Title Two
Title Three
Option 1Option 1.1Option 1.1.1
Option 2Option 2.2Option 2.2.2
Option 3Option 3.3Option 3.3.3





This is what the numbers do:

1: Create a table.
2: Edit a table.
3: Delete a table.
4: Insert row above the row you currently have selected..
5: Insert row below the row you currently have selected.
6: Delete the selected row.
7: Insert a Column before the selected one.
8: Insert a Column after the selected one.
9: Delete a Column.
