Spell Check

Post by CHL/LEO »

Is there a way to enable or add a Spell Check function for my postings? It may already be there but I'm just overlooking it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I normally just open a word document and type it out and use that spell checker then cut and paste back in to the message body. It might be another step but if its cant be added to the forum then its another way to make sure you spell right. :lol:

I use Firefox, which has a built-in spell check that will check anything I'm typing in a browser. Also, Firefox > IE, for many reason including security and features/ease of use.

Works great - thanks for the heads up!

phpbb software (bulletin board/forum) doesn't have a spell-checker feature. I looked at some mods, they none appeared to work too well.

I was hoping Ver. 3.0 would have it, but it doesn't look like that will be included.
