Hi,
Is a spelling checker available on this software? If so, could we get it activated please as I appreciate the chance to check my posts for correctness prior to posting.
I did a search on Spelling Checker and found no topics and no posts on the subject.
Thanks.

Other than the occasional smart comments, you won't get beat up too bad over typos on this board. It's all casual conversation.
But if you must check your spelling, I'll share what I use while at work. I keep dictionary.com minimized on my desktop in the event I need to double check a spelling, or look for a better term via thesaurus option.
As you mentioned, a built-in spell checker (program) would be a nice feature to catch those words overlooked.

If you use FireFox try this http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/install. Once installed yoou just need to right click in the text box and you will get a chance to correct your spelling.

Normally I don't have a problem with spelling, but grammer, well, uhm, I type like I talk so there is a lot of run-ons and commas where I would pause when I talk.
A spell check option would be a great feature for the non Firefox using people out there.

I have been happy using ieSpell which is a free spell check software for IE text windows. After you type your text you just right click the mouse over the text window and start the spell checker. Go here to download it: http://www.iespell.com/
Yeh these are about the only things that will help right now guys. I have used both of these methods and they work great. As of right now I do not know of a way for me to add a spell check to the site. If I can come up with something I will.

I appreciate the feedback. I'll install the Firefox add-on as it is my browser of choice.

I know this is an old thread but I just installed Firefox and lost my spell check I had w/ IE. I looked in Firefox add-ons and didn't find one there. Did you ever find one to use?
