SPELL CHECKER
« on: July 13, 2005, 10:48:12 AM »
not sure if I am missing it or it is not here, I suck at spelling so I use spell checkers all the time.  It is a handy tool that I do not see here

Nope, no spell checker. This forum uses the el'cheapo version, so no clever features like that. :(
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

actually, There's a freeware forum out there that has a spell check, it was used for the first incarnation of AORP. I can't remember what it was called.

Anyway, the way many people do it is write their post in Word and then copy/paste. I don't know how easy it is to get a spellcheck to work with the software, I just wanted to make an option known.

Then you get the apostrophie bug though.

not if you turn off the dumb "smart quotes" feature in Word. Which is an  impedence to most sensical uses of the word processor anyway.

Eh I don't think we need one as part of the forum, I know there are ones we can download for this forum but most people have easy access to their own spell checker.

Also as a note Legion,in the future please don't make forum topics all in caps.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!
