titles crossed out

I haven’t seen that before. Are these articles on your live blog or the training posts/page? If on the live blog, maybe you could send a link to them?

If they are on the training page or training posts in the admin, try checking the Option in the Curation tab titled “Do NOT show readable page in Training Popups”. Then go back to the training posts/page and see if the strike-out is gone. Sometimes some strange styles that are part of a specific article show up across the whole training posts/pages.
