Mal,

Is it a policy decision not to enable [s]strikeout[/s] text on the boards?

Just curious, I've seen it used to humorous effect in other places.

Also would it be possible to see a list of all the available/allowed BBCodes?

Again, just curiosity more than anything else, so if it's a big deal then please don't bother

The available bbcode list can be reached via the BBCode link under the smilies when you post a message.

Which message board has the strikeout code?

Well I've seen a few different ones. Not many of them use the same software as here perhaps, I dunno.

Here's a question about it on a board

Here's another

I'm not actually a member of these ones, that was just a Google search!

Okay I'll have a look later, the first link is using software pretty much the same as here so it must be possible.

Ummm I think we have lost ALL the BBCode - links, quotes etc all seem to have disappeared.

I should have just left well alone - Sorry! :(

Indeed. Things are acting odd on the boards. Curious.

HTML <u>works</u> in the same fashion as before

As far as I remember, the &lt;s&gt;strikeout&lt;/s&gt; code never worked previously

[list:963d3b6adb]Jeez, don't panic!

All is back to normal. The line-through mod I was trying to use was written in 2002 so it may have been a little incompatible with the current version of this message board software. I'll have to look into further and see if I can make it more up to date.[/list:u:963d3b6adb]

2002! *screams*

Nah, no worries Mal,

The people who've saying that the UBB code in their post isn't working will look a bit stupid now it is, so no harm done.

I'd like to see a spoiler code applied. I don't know if it's possible, I've seen it in use over at the R.A. Salvatore forums but they use ezy-boards.
Basically all it does is replace the nominated text with a link Show Spoiler and the text only becomes visible if you click on it.
If you want to see it in action head over to http://www.rasalvatore.com/

I think that's a bit harder to do on here, you can do this instead though: http://www.terrypratchettbooks.org/post6539.html

I think there's a bbcode that can be added that does the above for you, but thre's really no point to it.
