how to get strikethrough text?

I’ve seen it used, but don’t know how to do it myself. I looked in the FAQ and didn’t see anything about it.

I’m sure it’s something really obvious, but I’m not proud :smiley:

[del]It’s the [ del ] tag, no spaces.[/del]

[del]Great, thanks JeffB[/del]

BB code list.

FYI, ugly ripe tomato, you can also click the quote button on any post to reveal whatever code was used in the post.

That link given by PlainJain in post 4? You can see it on each page at the message board, near the bottom left of the screen, where it says “BB code is On”.

More tricks,

cmc, don’t even go there!
Do you want us to end up with posts like this? It’s madness I tell you! People will be running away screaming from the SDMB. Dear ugly ripe tomato, please stick with basic black. Thank you.

I largely concur, however
[del][COLOR=Black]black text with red strikethrough[/del][/COLOR] just looks better
and
black text with [COLOR=“Black”]red[/COLOR] underlining doesn’t look like someone’s made a color corrected link.

But most of the time it just ain’t worth the extra effort. :smiley:

Sometimes, though, it’s required to make the post worth posting!

All the posts in this thread that are supposedly examples of the strikethrough color being different from the text show as being the same color as the text for me. What am I missing?

What browser are you using? I’m using Chrome and see the color.

ETA: Also seeing it in Palemoon (Firefox variant)

but IE seems to be the stinker and not doin it rite

I thought I was the only one who does this!:smiley:

Q

Yeah, this was noted in Mangetout’s original thread. :frowning:

You’re missing the fact that CMC [[del]should be[/del] [del][COLOR=Black]beaten with a[/del][/COLOR] [del][COLOR=Black]very large[/del][/Color] [del][COLOR=Black]wooden board.[/del][/color]] is a very nice person.

I am using Chrome also! My phone (Palm) works.

This is a test to see if I’m right about why my previous post didn’t come out quite like I intended. I’m checking to see if the coding was wrong in the way I think it was.

ETA: Yep, the mistake I thought I made really was a mistake. The correction fixed it.

The grapist will be highly graped with you, Blackberrist. Personally, I’m joining the Communist camp, just because of you!

Everyone watch for my new line of Communism-inspired red-colored posts (and watch for my banning, shortly to follow!)!!!one!!eleven!!! :smiley:

Coding is [del]obsession inducing[/del] fun.
