    Feature request: New text formatting option

    Could we have a strikethrough text effect added to our editor? I tried to copy-paste from word and it looked okay, but after trying to submit the text it removed the strikethrough effect and replaced it with normal text.

    I will see if that option is available. i was going to tell you to try the "paste from word" option but I got the same results you did after hitting submit, see my screen shot from before I hit submit, Hmmmmm.

      I used a standard paste. Will try the paste from word.

      The first option was the strikethrough effect, second is intended as plain.

        Any update on this feature, Aneurysm? Without our Sarcastica font, how will anyone ever know we're being sarcastic without a strikethrough text effect?!

          Maybe because we're always sarcastic? =^..^=
          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

            I have it halfway completed, you can now do strikethrough using "BB Code" (see example below), I will try to add an editor button tonight.

            By typing:
            [strike]I love Copiers[/strike]

            you will get this:
            I love Copiers

            For more BB Code Options click here or on the link at the bottom of most editor pages.

              Thanks for finally implementing this! It should be a very funny useful feature!

                I'm just glad to get it going, I am tired of hearing people bitch about it glad I can implement changes that will enhance the Copytechnet experience. Thanks for using all my bandwidth visiting the site.

                  I finally got "strike-through" added to the text editor, use the button to apply the [strike] tags around highlighted text.

                        I can't click like on this more than once, so I'm quoting it just to like the quote.

                          I'd also like to state that with the addition of this new feature, the posts on user pages do not reflect the change.

                          This will show up plain as a linked post, without any text effects similar to the bold, italic or underline

                          Looking under likes received for example, the previous posts in here of mine that were liked are still showing as plain text. It could be rather misleading to someone who was concerned about it.

                              When you enter a sub-thread of a main forum, there's a button called "+Post New Thread" up near the top.
