I've added a new BB code to my editor, namely the ability to do strike-out text. Obviously it works fine in vB, but it doesn't translate to ForumRunner (or Tapatalk), notably (I'm guessing) because ForumRunner doesn't know how to interpret such.

My suggestion, to see if that's possible, is to have ForumRunner support at least something that is *most* likely to be added on, such as the strike-out function (as it's quite useful to make cynical or sarcastic points).

Likewise, does anyone on here know of an alternate means to specify strikeout text, than the

<strike></strike>

tags?

I've noticed that reversed text (i.e. upside down text), when pasted into the editor, works fine, but that's most likely because that is just different unicode characters.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately the iPhone does not have support for Strikethrough fonts.

Best we can do is make the bbcode get stripped out.

Thanks for your reply - I thought it does. When I browse to my forum via the regular MobileSafari, I can see the strike-through just fine.

I guess ForumRunner doesn't grab the content, and then just embed webkit within FR, but you guys grab the content independently?

Correct. UIWebViews are extremely expensive to render, so having a bunch of them on one screen would make the UI extremely laggy.
