How hard would it be to integrate a spell check feature for when one is making a post? Just a random thought as I close the window with dictionary.com
Xsalent idea!
I can’t spell either, worst yet I can’t manage to use the right word in a sentence (opps, I did it again, just typed “work” instead of “word”).For me, rather than running each word through a dictionary, like it seems your doing. I just type my whole posting, then before hitting [Submit] I TRY to remember to cut/paste it into MS-Word and let it yell at me. Just a suggestion, to make it more of a one step process.

That way you’re not having to move/make corrections twice….just a thought.
MBoy……that sounds like alot of work…..cut/copy/paste, open word…..i should get rapske to make me a macro lol

BTW, that should be “…like it seems you’re doing.”
Safari checks my spelling for me as I type.
Firefox has a free spellchecker extension that you can install
Our current UBB software doesn’t have a spell check feature. I’m not sure if other bulletin boards have such a feature or not. Good question.

MBWow! Well I’ll be darn … yes that would be easier. Should I send the “thank you” check to you or Bill Gates?
I dunno what engine they use, but the forums at cycleforums.com have a spell check feature. It works pretty slick.

Not to worry.. Do it as you would, we need to learn to live withe the fact that none of us is perfekt. 😛
Spellchecker. For those that use Firefox or Mozilla, go to http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/. A neat little spellchecker.
