missingsid Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I see that you have instigated a Spell Checker for us poor spellers. Thank You Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 OOPs Very embarrassed now :wub: I just changed from IE to Firefox and the spell checker is in the browser not the Forum software. I got so exited that I wanted to thank the organisers but did not think about Firefox? Please delete topic as it has no use unless to cause me embarrassment and suggest the browser as a better option? Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Oops indeed Firefox is the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Surprised me too Though using the full post editor (not the quick reply one) I see there really is a button, in the upper right grouping, that offers to 'Spellcheck' my post though it does seem to require an additional download for IE (best stick to FF me thinks). Of course I'm now wondering how long it has been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 AFAIK it's been there for ages, I've just clicked on it, to find it needs to download http://www.iespell.com/download.php as a add on to IE7 use the top link & it goes to http://www.download.com/3001-12512_4-10208...part=dl-ieSpell done the download sucessful & working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_d Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Firefox also red underlines the word that needs correcting but bizarrely also highlights 'Firefox'. Unfortunately it is not a very good spell checker and fails to recognise some of my more wayward attempts at the English language. The spell checker in the Google toolbar is much better.

Bowie69 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 bizarrely also highlights 'Firefox'. Mine doesn't.... It will highlight 'FireFox' but not 'Firefox', maybe you use a different dictionary, mine is Aspell IIRC. Then I use Opera all the time anyways, much lighter in use IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
