Using Gransnet - crossings out

(134 Posts)

Can anyone tell me why some people’s posts are partly crossed through? There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it and it is puzzling me. Does Gransnet do it? I can’t see it being the poster as, surely, they could just delete the bit that shouldn’t be there.
I’d love to know!

Did you forget to cross through WAS Marydoll? 😂

Oh dear, silly me fat fingers and addled brain! 🤣 or 😡 or 🤔😏😁

It is fiddly on an iPad GG13!

Just another one to check by jove I have finally managed it on my iPad.

It is rather fiddly though, and I have tiny nimble fingers!

Ok, I'm being thick 😂
Can you cross out an emoji?

One person here often does it to be really unpleasant- saying they would't dream of correcting a spelling or typo, but then doing so by crossing out. Just very rude and 2 faced.

You can't cross out someone else's typos or mistakes, surely?

Or am I just being thick confused here?

Is one person the singular of some people?

That's frowned upon on Gransnet, no?

Marydoll Mon 10-Feb-25 14:55:37

I can do it on a phone, tablet and PC, but not a laptop, because I do not possess one. 😁

Allira Mon 10-Feb-25 14:54:42

It works on my tablet.

It’s going to the left of the hyphen that makes the difference

Yep, went to the left of the hyphen, then placed the other hyphen, did the same at the end of my word - just tried again, but on previewing, it's still not working! Wonder if it's because I'm on a tablet and not a phone or computer?

Trying again on iPhone —test— maybe

You have too much time on your hands, GG.

I hope you are recovering! 💐

GrannyGravy13 Mon 10-Feb-25 14:49:08

My next mission is to charge my laptop and try on that.

This lady might be down, but she is not out!

Is it like Morse? ..-..?

Dot dot dash dot!

More like blankdashdashdotdashdashblank !

Ignore those random dashes at the end of my last post - I was trying out something else but forgot to delete it.

Elegran Mon 10-Feb-25 14:39:11

What did you type, GrannyGravy? There should be no spaces between dashes or words, but there SHOULD be spaces before the first dashes and after the last dashes.
If I use smileys instead of dashes, what you have typed should look like this smilesmilecrossed out wordssmilesmile would give crossed out words --__

Claremont as you have not been a user of Gransnet for very long I am wondering if you are mistaking the reason for the crossing out you referred to earlier on this thread.
A long standing member of GN used to run a Skool thread. It was a lot of fun. I think what you refer to is something to do with the old thread and is only intended as tongue in cheek humour. It's not two faced or rude. Just meant in jest.
It's understandable that you have taken it the wrong way because you are not aware of what has gone before.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Mon 10-Feb-25 14:30:01

Allira are you using a smartphone? That doesn’t work on an iPad. 😁

GG13 your homework for the week? 😂

Allira Mon 10-Feb-25 14:28:44

Do your hyphens join together?

GrannyGravy13 Mon 10-Feb-25 14:27:52

I have a new generation iPad, I have tried everything and cannot get —deletion—
