    Strikethrough text

    Is is possible to get strikethrough text on the forum?

    I can't seem to find a way - there again, I have the technical skills of a nematode.

    Not directly onsite that I'm aware of, but you can go to https://yaytext.com/ and type in the text that you want with strikethrough and then go down and use the Copy feature to give you something that you can paste in.

    I have done the copy and paste. There are times where it is Very appropos.

    Copy & paste does not carry across the strikethrough when using Apple Pages.

    Nor on a phBB forum I belong to that does support strikethrough: Thanks, that's very [strike]stupid[/strike] swell.

    Seems to be a limitation of vBulletin.

    Thanks all for the contributions, especially Dave (in MA).

    The moment has passed for the post I was going to make, but this will come in handy in the future.

    One thing I'd LOVE is for the Advanced Search page to default to "Thread Titles Only" instead of "Search Entire Posts" (or whatever the wording is). I have to change that setting every time I search for something.

    In the Advanced-option there's a "Insert Horizontal Line"-option (last line, third from right), but that doesn't seem to work either.


    Horizon

    As you can see it inserts a line above the text you write.

    Funny though that now I see there's the Bandcamp-option [BC] too (last line, lost option).

    That WOULD be useful.

    I never noticed that before, as far as I remember.
    It seems to work for me:

    boop

    beep
    burp

    Just don't put text in between the tags. If it was more like the way real HTML works, it would be something more like [HR/]












    WEEEE!!!

    Is that called "line dancing"?
