i may be missing something, but is there a spellchecker?
Or is it a "download" it yourself, due to people having different operating and browsing systems.
If so what are people using, I have Vista 64 bit running Mozilla Firefox.
Cheers once again for a great firum.

I have Firefox and i use the firefox spellchecker thats build into it
-
With all the different operating systems and internet browsers that standard SMF offering isn't likely to work for everyone so we have left it disabled.
Like 182_blue says with Firefox there is a built in one and there is also one in Apples Safari for PC and Mac.

I'm a smartass who went to an English Public School and so I don't need a spellchecker coz I no how to spell like. :evilgrin:
I hate any software which tries to second guess what I'm writing. I don't use predictive text on mobile phones either.

I know what you mean about software trying to second guess what you write. I bet you only have to write one letter and it changes your text to Carbon, Miltek, and my dealers great. :signLOL:
Its just your age i am afraid predictive text on messages is invaluable.

the firefox one only underlines (very faint too) anything it thinks is wrong, it wont manually change anything unless you right click, so its quite unobtrusive

....But I find even faintly underlining words to be obtrusive. I'm always adapting words to better describe, and they invariably are seen as mispellings. For example, words like "loooong".

You're obviously not using it either : - Milltek has two "L's" and apostrophe in "dealer's" meaning my dealer is great.
