The “BB code is on” on the bottom left hand of the page also revels coding how to.
Yes, it’s pretty trivial to add a strikethrough button: an admin just has to upload a button image and enter the local file path in the box for that custom BB code under the AdminCP / Custom BB Codes / BB Code Manager. I got this one from the vBulletin forum, which they could use if they wanted.
But sadly it will appear at the far right of the toolbar. As far as I can tell, it’s impossible to have the strikethrough button next to the bold, italic and underline buttons, which is vexing. Still, it would a helpful shortcut for people who knew the code existed but didn’t know/remember how to use it.
Yes, it does.

And then of course there’s the wonderful world of colors. In addition to the standard palette you can do any 256-value of RGB by using {color=#ABCDEF}, where the code following the # are the hex values for R, G, & B. 73CC2F gives [COLOR=#73cc2f]this color[/COLOR]
:smack:
D’oh!
Want to try this also! [del] whoo hoo! [/del] Thank you.
Does the
highlighting
option work?
It seems too, cool.
color=lightgrey is also useful for asides, like for example “the retardspeople who support Gingrich…”
At the bottom of the page, where it says “Posting Rules,” there are hyperlinks.
Like the one for BBCode, that takes you here:
