Spell check?

[Dennis The Bus Dweller]

Hi Sharkey

Is there any way to put a spell check buttom on the forum so when I post something others can read them I know you don't like us to be able to copy and paste stuff but my spelling really "S#*K"

PS: Any more stuff on Grace?

Well, there are spel check plugins for the forum software, but I was not impressed with them, and the better ones are sponsored, which menas annoying advertisements.

Have you tried using your browser's Edit | Paste menu option, -or- assuming you are using Windows, CTL+C for copy and CTL+V for paste?

All,

I'm playing around w/ a few of the spell checking extensions for FireFox. It looks like they all require the spelling dictionaries from the Mozilla Suite, but once in place you can edit in BBS/Forum pages and spell check from your web browser before submitting.

I don't want to recommend one until I can spend a few days crash free, but then I'll shout out. Currently playing w/ spellhound.sourceforge.net. If you search the firefox extensions web site you can find a few others.

I know it won't help w/ Opera, but it's a baby step.

Well, I'm not sure why, with all the other important stuff I have to do outside, but I installed a spell checker in the forum. I seems to work well, but only if I disable my proxy software and tell Opera to allow pop-up windows. Other than that, it's functional. Give it a try, it's the "Spell Check" button at the bottom of the text box when you add a topic or reply...

Also it doesn't seem to recognize "I'm" so I'll add that to the dictionary. If you find any other words that need adding, let me know.

I just noticed the spellcheck button w/ my last post. Many thanks Sharkey.

So far it's worked great for me, firefox/windows.

The spell checker thinks "Sharkey" is mis-spelled! <grin>

OK, fixed that, it now knows who I am.

Just a note:

The spell checker hasn't been removed, the button has just been moved to the bottom of the form so that it aligns with the other function buttons. I was having problems accidentially pressing it instead of "submit", so I decided that they should all be grouped together.
