It’s two dashes either side of the word, isn’t it?
—hello—

Papergirl1968 · 30/12/2018 18:24

Ohh, try again

Two hyphens each side, no spaces : word = word

MoreNougatThanCougar · 30/12/2018 18:26
  • - like this - - but without the spaces!
Papergirl1968 · 30/12/2018 18:27

How did you do it, Dont?

TheFirstOHN · 30/12/2018 18:27
  • - this - -
without any spaces gives you this
FamilyOfAliens · 30/12/2018 18:27

Don’t do it, OP.

Whenever I read posts with half of it crossed out, it infuriates me. Say it or don't say it. Don’t half say it ffs.

Papergirl1968 · 30/12/2018 18:28

—hello—

lookingatthings · 30/12/2018 18:28

it only works if you have auto punctuation turned off if using iphone

TipseyTorvey · 30/12/2018 18:33

wanted to know this for ages

reallyanotherone · 30/12/2018 18:33

My phone seems to change two short dashes into one long one, so the cross out never works.

See.

Luvey · 30/12/2018 18:34

Hope this works

dontneedthedrama · 30/12/2018 18:34

unless its a big secret
Luvey · 30/12/2018 18:35

Yes! Never knew before how to do it.
I'll be doing it in almost every post now Grin

PawsPurrsAndWhiskers · 30/12/2018 18:37

Not sure if it's different on the full site but on the mobile site,

Click the 'I' button next to the emoji button. Choose the one that looks like hello. And it will put ---- in the message box. Type the text you want crossed out in the middle and it should work.
