I know i will probably be flammed for this by the Grammer and Spelling police but is it possible to code a spelling checker in the next upgrade onto the forum

I noticed when i posted on http://tigerownersclub.co.uk/ that you can check the spelling before you submit your post.

Surly this would be a worthwhile addition to ph?

I mentioned this very subject to Ted some time ago, cant recall his exact comments, but on the lines of its better to read the post as submitted.

You could always post up in ~Word and cut and paste.

Thanks for the response, but if you are a bad speller, then reading the post before hand does not really help much.

The cut and paste in and out of word is a current technique.

I'd echo the above comments in suggesting that the best solution is a browser based one, whether you switch to chrome/firefox which have it built in or download one for Internet Explorer, such as http://www.iespell.com/

Hope this helps.

My spelling is bad, and grammar even worse, but I soldier on, should have paid more attention at school I guess.
