I've been a busy bee today and added spell checking capabilities to the site - finally ;)

Its taken about 3 years for a proper working solution to arrive for the site, but it seems to be here now. Let me know if there are any bugs or problems :)

It should activate if you make a new thread, click "reply" or edit a post - its along the bottom set of buttons next to submit and preview. I'll see if I can add it to quick reply now, as I guess thats the problem ;)

Mucks, how did it lose it? Did you click spell check and the text disappeared?

Itsme has just let me know why some people might be having problems, it uses a pop-up - which means it may cause problems if you have them blocked (there are no pop-ups other than that on this site, so it should be safe to enable for this site ;)).

Ok, let's try this thing, I have win xp pop-up blocker enabled.


Test:

Original:

I recieved a concience from a parralell beeing who quowted an intence eqwation too me.

Corrected:

I received a conscience from a parallel being who quoted an intense intense too me.

lol, almost there ;) I'm wondering how it made 'eqwation' into 'intense' And it missed 'too' as well, though I guess it's not a grammar checker.

It did a good job, but in my earlier post it missed that 'aI' assuming that is an acutal word, pretty good.
