When you have a moment at some point Rich could you look into the possibility of adding a spell check to the forum?

I am the world's worst smeller and it gets tedious copying into Word then copying back (I don't like to appear a thicko on screen, bit of a shock when they meet me in person, I know).

There is a word replacer function, which can be used for common tpyos .
I doubt we could get anything to sort Warren out though !

heh... it may happen at some point CW, but I can't guarantee it.

I have quite a bit on my plate at the moment.

Mis-spelt words are underlined in red for me. Might be to do with using a Mac or Firefox though.

Ah really? Yes, could well be a Firefox plug-in, which would be useful.

Thank you, I'll explore that route (which I have never heard of!) and leave Yith alone.

Yup, its a Firefox thing. If the spelling isnt correct, you get a nice line of red dots under the word. Pity that it's based on "American" English and not the Queens English though!

Just done Firefox - upgrade to v2 and when you install you are given the option to install the spell checker and language libraries...

I'm using Firefox 2.0 - when installed the "spellcheck" is automatically "on" - thats all I know about it!

I've been slowely adding ot a list on the forum of commonly mispelt words under the word censor option in the admin panel . It will never cure Warren or Gareth at his best , but might stop some .
It also defaults some of the more offensive swear words into something more acceptable .

Just so you know . :lol:
