vb code

[+ FreshFluff]

Can vb tags (such as this: testing strikethrough ) be used on this board? I know that HTML tags can be used, but it's put in a special code box.

strikethrough doesn't seem to work here, although bold, underline, italic, and many other tags do work.

 

I think it's up to the site developer to decide which HTML codes are enabled.

 

F'rinstance, the strikethrough code does work on the Boytoy website, and I think it used to work here as well.

 

I guess the lesson is to try to avoid changing one's mind. At least in public. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

It does. Just use open bracket strike close bracket your text open bracket /strike close bracket.

It still works: http://www.companyofmen.org/showthread.php?100872-G%E9rard-Depardieu-reveals-in-his-autobiography-that-he-used-to-be-a-male-prostitute&p=928562#post928562

But it wasn't the case before ... it was added subsequently ;-)

Awesome! I love using strike through text. It's the most effective snarky tool in the sarcasm toolbox.

Thanks, Kevin! I looked at all the vb code lists, and this is the first time I've seen this.
