TomB Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Could an English spell checker be incorporated into the forum software? One that works like MW Word, which underlines mispelt words would be idea. Is this possible? It would be especially useful writing long posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shn7 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If you use Firefox as your browser it does it for you. Nothing extra needed for the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 6, 2013 Member Share Posted March 6, 2013 Good idea. I already get that from by browser (Safari on OS X). Who else does, using what? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mirylees Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Opera also underlines misspelled words as you type. Oh, yes and I still use Microsoft Word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oily Mick Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Quoting Jonathan Kay: Good idea. I already get that from by browser (Safari on OS X). Who else does, using what? Jonathan Google Chrome underlines in red if you misspell something, however if you go into advanced options and change the language from "English United States" to "English" it says: "Google Chrome cannot be displayed in this language. This language cannot be used for spell checking" 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe its my anceint brwoser at wokr then Im on IE8. Ive not noticed if Safari has a spell checker on the Macs at home I'll have to look. Would be handy if on the formatting buttons at the top of the post if there was a button to quickly scan the text for typos, but if its a browser issue rather than a forum issue, might not be worth it.

jingars Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The Speckie spell checker for Internet Explorer works on the 64-bit version of IE9 - I assume that it will work with IE8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
