I used to know, but now this knowledge has escaped me due to not abusing it like crazy. :(
So, how might one go about making a line go across a bunch of letters? It is most commonly used as a way to "cancel out" a previous message in an edit, or sometimes used in a case such as this in Newb Threads:
Welcome to Hell
Edit:
Welcome to (Hell is crossed out) Heaven
Thanks much in advance.
By using thedeltag, for one :]. I think justs, short for strike, works too.
Like this?
use [s][/s].
Damn, Mirage beat me to it.
Except i used html tags, not vBB code.
I don't know why there isn't a Strikeout button.
So did I, but I don't know how to get it to not parse the html when I said what the code was, so I used vBB code then... :(Quote:

It used to be<s>for strike out, but that was deprecated along with <i> and <b> in favor of <em> and <strong>
Most browsers still render them for the sake of backward compatibility :p

Apparently it was <u> that was deprecated, not the other way around (<i> and <b>) but <s> definitely is.
