"strikethrough" or <del> tags not working in signature

[GregFreeman]

I had <del> </del> tags in my signature (and still do) in order to make text have strikethrough and they had worked. Now they don't. I'm looking at the html as I type this and it has /strike as the tags. I'll try those, but in the meantime, does anyone know why this stopped working?

We had a forum upgrade that may have changed what HTML is available to be used in signatures.  I do see the strikethrough in your signature now that I guess you've updated it. Do you also see the update?

Thanks,

Laura

Tried to use Strikethrough on an Idea Exchange comment, and it cleared the <del> tags prior to posting. (using Chrome)

Testing here... strikethrough.

*** EDIT: Yep, just did it again, let me post the screenshot here below of what I am looking at prior to posting, and you can see what happens after I post, the strikethrough goes away: ***

Yup, now need the <strike> </strike> tags instead of del

What the heck?! I'm just using the strikethrough formatting button provided for me on the text toolbar! I don't care about what markup tags to use! Thanks for telling me. 

Oh well, just an oversight that slipped through usability testing over at Lithium -- add it to the buglist.

There is no strikethrough button for a signature I don't believe so you either

1) have to add the tags manually

2) type out a post how you want your signature but instead of posting it, choose the HTML tag and copy/paste into your signature box in your profile

3) There may be a text editing bar in the signature section of the profile and I missed it, in which case I again am making things too difficult

Signatures aside, strikethrough does not work when I am posting messages. This is a more significant problem.

Ok, thanks for the update.

Test strikethough

I'm using Firefox 3

The strikethrough button works fine for me in both FireFox 3 and IE8.  Can you tell me what browser you are using?  I apologize if you have told me before, my head is kind of spinning trying to keep it all straight

Testing strikethrough in IE8.

Last night, it was Chrome.
