Spell Checker.

Do we have a spell checker for the forums, can we download one or how does it works?

Forumotion forums don't have a spell checker but your internet browser has one. I don't know about Internet Explorer but Firefox has a spell checker.

Yeah I use firefox and it has one, but internet explorer does not. I have some members requesting a spell checker. I explained what you've stated guess I was right. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your help. Is there any link that you can download for the forum?

There are 2 ways you can try.. the first is at google gadget which the code can be embedded into your forum...try spellboy.

You see let's say I want to do a new topic and while im writing or done I would like to check my spelling can I do that? Is it possible? if not i'll try your option

by GuineaPigLuvver Thu 24 Jan 2008 - 7:45

Nope! didn't work. Is their any other way? sorry for bigging so much lol

To be honest, using the google bar spellchecker is best as it checks your whole post for errors before you are ready to post....with the other ones you have to type in the word to see how it's spelt correctly. My advice is to get your users to download the google toolbar that has spellcheck. I don't think there is a spellchecker you can embed that will check a whole post before posting.
Sorry if i can't be of any more help.
