Where can I find the tool to cross out total debt each month

Options
I've just been updating my signature. I would like include my debt in my signature and cross it out each month so that I can see the debt reduce. For me this is a big morale booster. However, I can't work out how to do this. Can somebody help me please. I see a lot of members doing this, but can't work it out... Thank you.

    When you edit your signature use the strike out button on the selected text you with to strike through.

    Its a button with an S with a line thru it.

    Hi there, can somebody please talk me through this again... trying to individually put a line through the figures in my signature, but it doesn't seem to be working now!

    Click on User CP.

    Click on Edit Signature.

    Now you're looking at a dialogue box with your signature as it is now.

    Highlight the numbers you want to put a line through then click on the strikethrough button - the button on the right of the line of buttons on the top of the dialogue box - to put a line through the highlighted text.

    Alternatively, you can add your own tags.

    Click to place your cursor to the left of the text you want to draw a line through, then put [ strike] using the square brackets I used (minus the space). Then click to place your cursor to the right of the text you want to draw a line through and put [ /strike] (minus the space), which means end strikethrough.

    Example: If I want to put a line through THIS, I write [ strike] THIS [ /strike] without the spaces to give [strike]THIS[/strike].

    Haha love updating my signature at this time of the month. I've paid off 5 % off my debts in the past 3 months \o/. Although I have taken out new credit this has been to reduce the cost of existing debt which I will keep doing as I try and snowball my debt. Anyway, 95 % left to go.... EEK, but at least I can see an albeit, very dim, light at the end of this tunnel now. :-)
