Strikeout BBCode tag
I just realized a few days ago that the Scratch forums don't have the strike through tag!
It's just simple strike through using [s] and [/s] tags. And it would be easy to implement.

It's so easy to do. Way easier than ScratchBlocks.
Just do it already, ST!

I know! I'm sure JSO could do it in five minutes or less.

If I could do their FTP I could do it in less than 1 and a half.

Smartys did it in around one minute, so it can't be too hard.
I support.

It might be nice. (course there are a million other BBCode tags I wish I had)

Re: Strikeout BBCode tag
Well, it does seem like it would be easy to do. But what good is it really? Why strike things out, when you can just replace them?
Beyond that, we really don't want to be spending more time working on the old forum software (other than security fixes) when we could be spending those same hours working on the new software.

You do have a point. Does that mean implementing these spare BB-Codes as part of 2.0?

It's a rarly useful but it can be very useful sometimes. For example, if you edited a post and the information became old, yet you wanted to display it, you could use the tags and then write the new info below.
And I can easily see that you wouldn't want to waste time with this, but if it only takes three minutes, why not?

It wouldn't take very long.

Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

Yeah, really. It's [s]2[/s] 1 minutes, not even 3.
