I've just figured out how to do strike through text.

    I joined this website nine eight years ago and ever since I have spend every minute hour of every day trying to figure out how to do that clever strike through text thing that you often see smug cnuts clever people doing. At first I thought that they had actually drawn a line through the text using some sort of special computer pen but as the decade developed I realised they were using some sort of fancy computer code. Last night I finally cracked that code.


    So fcuk you to all the haters who said I hadn't got the mental capacity to achieve such a feat. You're not laughing, you're not laughing, you're not laughing anymore.:cool: I'm pretty pleased with myself.

    Have you ever undertook any ambitious projects? Were you succesful.?

    Presumable a re-reg...but if not...the biggest lurker on the site.

    Anyway congratulations, next week.....bold text.

    The Lord of the Rings project also took eight years to complete. Pretty sure Peter Jackson wasn't wasting his time posting on message boards. When you decide to sign up to a project you should endeavour to give yourself to it mind body and soul.

    Quick question. What if somebody were to write a post but then put used strike through text on every single word of it thus leaving a body of nothing? Woudl that post be added to your post total or would it be discounted? Also would people even read it?

    You can't dispose of a body that easily, you'll always leave a trace.

    WELL FUCKING DONE!

    not so loud, i have a hangover!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    And there I was thinking that the public sector unions had figured out a way of going on strike without actually having to go outside :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    WELL FUCKING DONE!
    Thanks LazyFingers but to be honest I kind of feel unfulfilled. The initial euphoria has been replaced with a feeling that I may have wasted a rather large portion of my life. I've spent 8 years on this project yet when all is said and done what use is it to anybody? Will my strike through text save peoples lives? No. Will it offer people a ray of sunshine when they're feeling low and blue like a Beach Boys record can do? No. Will it win me a meteor award? No Maybe.

    I feel cheated. Like I did when I watched Matrix Reveloutions. Except this is a version of Matrix Reveloutions that has lasted ninety odd months. I could kill myself.

    Are you calling me an idiot? Be careful when replying because I get angry when people call me idiots and unfortunately for you that anger can be related to your face as my current project involves finding out posters addresses. It may take a few years but I shall find you.

    I congratulate, you. However, was the "A" icon with a little line through it not a clue? Sorry for being a smug cnut, BTW!!:D

    They are unwashable at this stage. Like trying to scrub the burnt bits out of the pot you've just burned after leaving your spaghetti cooking for too long.

    Cheers for that....

    But does that work for say I was doing a post and wanted to put click here (the word here becomes the link to the website etc) instead of a big long www.blahblaha.com/blahblah .

    I hope you understand what I mean!


    * OP sorry for hi-jacking the thread!

    You mean like this?

    Just use the code below and replace the address inside the " marks with whatever you want to link to, and replace the like this part with whatever you want the text to be -

    [noparse]like this[/noparse]

    Hope you understand =p

    Hmm...Anyone think this writing seems a lot like the style Trent is written in? Suspicious.

    Also, fair fucks for figuring it out. It baffles the best of us at time. But, can you bypass the swear filter?
