Just like the name says, this ultra-simple little Product will allow you to specify Usergroups that may post in HTML and have that HTML be parsed...SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING TABLE PROBLEMS - THIS IS UNSUPPORTED USEAGE OF THE MODIFICATION AND I AM UNABLE TO ASSIST!
***BE AWARE THAT INDISCRIMINATE USE OF THIS HACK IS RISKY - RESTRICT IT TO ONLY THOSE USERGROUPS YOU TRUST ABSOLUTELY***
The scary message above is to make sure you are aware that enabling HTML for any group opens you up to security issues. This is why it is not a feature of Stock vB, probably.
I decided I needed to have the ability to post in HTML because I just installed ZT's RSS Feeds hack, and the ones I got from Google looked all horrible.
Now updated to be controlled by a Setting in Usergroup Manager, it's phrased and even works in editpost.php (preview) in WYSIWYG and normal modes, AND the Forum Rules shows HTML is ON.
This will not work retroactively. That is, if a User posted something in HTML before they were given the ability, that post has to be edited by that member (or someone else with HTML ability) in order to be parsed. I am assuming this is due to post caching.
Many thanks to Kirby for prodding me to figure it out by myself and not just telling me what to do.
A "demo" is here..html is OFF in that Forum, but the post is made by an Admin, so the HTML is parsed.

very nice hack - one question though - possibly a dumb one, but o-well...
example: I want to posthtml code-only in the news forum - thread title is Represent JpiC On Your Website...
I'm posting as ADMIN and ADMIN is the only usergroup that parses html... Is there a way for me to not have the html code parsed, so that my users will be able to copy the code for their website?
what I don't want parsed:
HTML Code:

Doens't work with 3.5.5 though. Assuming we post embded video in threads, the admins are they only ones who can do this. (great!)
After I post it, all the other admins can see it, but the moment a regular or unregistered members comes to view the thread, the contents change to unparsed html (not great)
We tried various combinations to ge this to work enable/disable html in forums etc. nothing changes this phenomenon.
