SPELL CHECK!!! How hard would it be EB to have a spell check function on the forums? It would be nice if it automatically did it for you when you tried t o post. Like you hit submit and it pops up with " Warning you have 45 of 45 words mispelled and no punctuation!! " Just a thought.....

Spell check is harder than you think.
There is a spell check add-on to the Forums but I refuse to use it because it has advertising on it from the guy who wrote the add-on. |

Allows you to install and control the spell checker. No using third party domains. No advertising. Everything is on your server and you can customize the look and feel of it how you want.
It is optimized for bandwidth usage. You can add which words you want the spell checker to support (several dictionaries available supporting languages such as English, Russian, etc.)
It also supports advanced features like correct all, ignore all, thesauruses and more. |

Now what fun would that be? If respondants were concerned about how their 3rd grade spelling and grammar makes them look...they could always PROOFREAD their posts, before they submit? Crazy notion I know.  |
