Strikethrough!

[dpaanlka]

Yes, that's what I want!

i think it might be that time of night where you need to get some REM happening 😛

What made you suggest a strikethrough code?

strikethrough is good for sarcastic effect and FTFY. Aww ya. I'd like it, but it'd get abused. But strikethrough likes that...

I ran into some thread where I was like yeah, I wish I had strikethrough.

Aww ya. I'd like it, but it'd get abused.

Like the Apple code?

You could post with the underlined code, and ask people to squint.

I've used strikethough on other forums. Much fun to be had. It doesn't get abused, either. In fact I tried it once on this forum and of course it didn't work...that was annoying....

I've brought this up before and still think it is a good idea. Maybe we could ask for it to be enabled? 😱

 

[EricNau]

There have been times in the past where it would have come in handy for me as well, so I think it would be a good idea.

...As long as it's disabled in signatures. The last thing I want to see is hundreds of signatures with strikethrough text (I don't know why, it just seems extra annoying).

 

[dpaanlka]

I really think the strikethrough would be most useful in edits, where people may not realized that additional or changed information has been added to the bottom. A strikethrough would really come in handy in that situation. It would make it more clear that something has changed.

Strikethrough sounds like it would be a useful addition. 🙂

Just posting to add another voice to the "yay" crowd.

 

[GoCubsGo]

I'm completely down for it. I tried once and couldn't use it so it would be a nice addition.

 

[PlaceofDis]

it would be good for the times you posted something and needed to go back and fix it, but others have commented etc on it. gives the reader a visual indication of an edit. etc. i'm for it.

 

[iBlue]

never thought of it for post editing. that's a great idea!

 

[Counterfit]

Too bad this isn't a democracy. 🙁

 

[dpaanlka]

I'd like to hear from arn or somebody their story for why strikethrough isn't on here? I'm sure they have a reason.

 

[zap2]

I think there is use for it...when I make a mistake, people quote me, then I fix it. Its be nice if I could strikethrough my mistake inplace of deleting it, so its more clear what happened.

 

[Eraserhead]

Damn my post here in the 100 million iPod thread could really use strikethrough (another vote for it).

 

[840quadra]

I am interested in it, however VB does not have it by default. It is a feature set that needs to be added, or provided with a new font.

 

[szark]

Seems like it would be a relatively simple addition.

I could certainly see some use for it, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.

 

[vniow]

Can we get some input from an admin here? Yay, nay or still pondering?

 

[longofest]

Thanks to my efforts good admins other than myself, this request has been granted. Hasn't made its way to the toolbar yet, but if you use the following vB code (minus spaces), you can do it:

 [ s t r i k e ] strike through me [ / s t r i k e ]

 

[skoker]

Boo! yay!

 

[PlaceofDis]

awesome news and thank you to all the admins.

works well enough😛

You better sticky lock this thread before everybody feels the need to test it out.
