Clawful Flames -> Spell Check (11/25/2009 1:19:43)
Hey, a lot of people spell things wrong sometimes, like I do. Why not have a spell check?

Apocalyptic Silence -> RE: Spell Check (11/25/2009 1:27:57)
Actually, if you spell a word wrong it gets a red underline. That is a form of spell check. :) @below, I'm using Google Chrome, I must have grown accustomed to such a convenient feature. ;)

Actually, Valane, that's not a built-in feature of the forums. That's something you must have turned on in your browser(Firefox?) Anyway, I think a built in spellcheck would be helpful. There are times when I make a long post, and I just loathe proofreading it. >_>

Coding spell check is a major undertaking especially if it is context sensitive.While many webmailers do include spell check, many of them do it badly. Really, spell check is something quite a bit better suited to be client side than server side for a few reasons. Not the least of which that it would increase load on the servers.

I agree with Fal, there's no need to make the forums have a spell check feature when it's possible to do so in the browser, not to mention this feature might take too much forum memory for too little progress/results. A good thing would be give links to browser spell checks on Forum Resources.

Use firefox ;) it does it for you

Master Samak -> RE: Spell Check (11/25/2009 22:08:52)
Google Toolbar (available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer) has a SpellCheck button which finds any spelling mistakes whenever you type into a web form, including web-based email, discussion forums, etc. It logically has an AutoFix option that corrects the misspelled text it picks up.
