For those of us who aren’t that good at spelling, could somebody jumpstart the spell check option for writing posts?
The requested URL /forum/spell-gw.php was not found on this server.
... is what I get at the moment. :(

Many Thanks :)

For Firefox users (IMHO everyone should use FF!), the following Dictionary add on is invaluable, not just here, but on all sites. Works by underlining mis-spelled words like MS Word. Right click to see options an correct.

My DH has that on his and it really bugs me, but is very good at what it does!

Firefox should check spelling automatically (it does for me and with everyone else I know using it).

Yep! Silly me. I just disabled the Dictionary plug in, and it still spell checks although the right click options are different.

Well, there you go :oops:

I didn't know there was a spell checker on here. But then I preview and read through what I write which unfortunately a lot of people don't.

I don't mean offence to those who can't spell; it is more those who can spell but don't bother reading their posts to see that they have typed gobbledigook, which is irritating to try to understand.

sorry but it would bug the hell out of me. either you find my spelling and lack of capitals slightly charming, or you can ignore it lol!
