I've been begging for years for spell check. Thanks to whomever is responsible (maybe Cynthia?).

Where is spell check hiding? Is it an icon on the posting page? I want spell check. I'll pay anything for it.

If you have the most recent version of Firefox, spellcheck is built into it. It puts a red line under misspelled words and if you right click, it offers suggestions. Maybe that's what you are seeing?

Oh yes! That must be what it is. I just started using fire fox and it underlines my misspelled words automatically.

Well then this board still needs spell check!

Boo-hoo. :

How do I get Firefox? Will it mess up Mozilla? Ok, is Mozilla firefox? I am not computer savvy. :

Firefox is the Mozilla browser. It's awesome! The newest version (Firefox 2.0.0.1) has the spell check built right into it, and there are ooodles of free add-ons (some helpful, some just plain fun) to download.



vB used to have a spell check built in that only worked with IE. I'm on the new Mac right now so I can't check if it is still there.

Spell checking???

Is it possible to have a spell checker as an option when posting???

I'm such a bad speller, and it would be so nice not to have to copy and paste from a word processer...

The software actually has a spell check built into it, but it only works with Internet Explorer. If you use the Firefox browser, it has a spell check built into it so when you type a post, it will underline any misspelled words in red.

So I guess if we use Safari we're out of luck? Most boards have a spell check option that you can use when previewing your post. I'm also a horrible speller, and often to lazy to copy and paste into something that will check it for me.

Spel chek

Is there a spell-check option on here? I know, I'm lazy, but when it's late or I have general mommy-brain, it would be nice to be able to hit spell check. Am I missing it? Thanks.

There isn't currently a spellcheck on the boards.

The new version of Firefox has a nifty spellcheck that is automatic but it doesn't like me and is not currently working for me.

Oh the spell check was working but my comp crashed and now I can't get my firefox to work and now I am having to use IE. :

Honestly I haven't had time to dig through and see what is wrong with it.
