A spell check mod has recently been installed powered by Spelchek.com (no this isn't a typo) Smile

Upon posting you now have the option to check your spelling before posting:



A worthy addition for those who can't spell or after a few beers Make a toast

Oooh, that'll come in handy to improve the overall readability of some posts Wink

I just have to wonder though, with countless posts from all around the world going through their servers... (there ought to be an X-Files style conspiracy theory emoticon Laughing)

On a related note, what's one supposed to do after you've corrected the typos in the little popup window? I click on "Finish checking" and the popup turns into a blue page with nothing on it... Confused Or are you just supposed to go back and edit your post by yourself?

You could just use a pspell (Im sure its default?) mod if someone was to write it then there would be no off site stuff.

I must admit I am a bit unnerved by it all. The ads at the bottom of the page have changed the feel but I suppose I'll get used to it. Confused The site does need the money. I'll get the old switch card out next week.

After clicking finish checking you should then be presented with a final button 'insert into document' where it pushes the corrected version into the phpBB post window.

Having a slight issue at the moment, should be fixed soon

Cheers

Yes, I was wondering about this myself. I have just been using the spell check manually.

OK bug now fixed

Upon clicking finish checking a final window will be presented with another button to insert in document

Once this is clicked the post will be edited properly to save making the changes manually
