Simple idea to improve the forums

I noticed while I was working on the sig hack that the code exists for a Spell Check button in the new post template, but it's commented out. I'll see if I can dig up any more information on it. It's quite possible that it's disabled because it either doesn't work, or has an adverse effect on performance.

If it's fixable though, I'll see what I can do. Have a few other matters to attend to beforehand, but I'll put it on The List� 😉

sweeeet, Thanks Sb.

yes a spel cheker wood bee nice.😊

I for one would use it, as sometimes now after quickly typing a late night post I use word's spell check rather then proofreading, and this would definately help. :thumbsup:

I had suggested the very same thing to the Shadowbalzer awhile back. It would great if you could just take the field from www.dictionary.com and put it near the "post reply" or even quick reply box. (having it open in a new window after submitting a word of course)

I've toyed with that idea since when we had UBB.
Usually it wants a registration at spellchecker.net. Which required a fee at one point.
If you're really a horrible speller, use MS Word, or some other program available. I'm not sure it needs to be a feature.

make sure it doesn't try to fix acronyms and intentional misspellings. it might not be good with all that...

I sur coud use one off em, I thinke that wood bee a good Idia.

o.O

A lot of people enjoy their atrocious spelling and take great pride in it...
