Strikethrough failures on mobile site/App

[PerfidiousAlbion]

Ive noticed that for quite some time now, the strikethrough feature doesn’t work.

Is this a glitch or doesn't the mobile site and the app support it?

Hi OP

Can you let us know what device and browser you're using, and can you provide an example here? test

I'm on the mobile site via Chrome on Android using my phone I'm not showing off or anything and it works just fine for me

OP, if you're using an ipad/iphone go to:
Settings
General
Keyboard
Turn off predictive text

Aaarghhh!

Turn off SMART PUNCTUATION in keyboard settings, not predictive text!

Yes, it’s because smart text converts two dashes to a long dash.

Thanks! That's been annoying me for ages

seems ok to me

Are you using the “styling” feature ?
Click on the big italic I in the circles under the message box.
This will give you some choices of text styles
Click on “delete”, it will give you these 4 dashes ----
Put your cursor in the middle of the 4 dashes and type

ooh

That method works BikeRunSki but mine doesn't work normally (android phone, Firefox browser)

@nemeton, the normal method doesn’t work if you have predictive texting, because it joins the two little dashes into a single hyphen.

Heheh- but I have a workaround now thanks to you

Thanks for all the advice on here, folks.

It works fine for us too tbh

@PerfidiousAlbion, have you sorted it now or are you still having issues?

I’ll try to strike through below. Fingers crossed!

—Here’s hoping—

No. So could it be my phone? I’m tying two dashes but they appear to convert to one dash. I wonder if predictive text is to blame?

Have turned off 'smart punctuation'.

Here's hoping

Hurrah!
