Can Spell Check Be Added to Quick Reply on PF for Non-Advanced Users?

[Danger]

Can someone please do something to unlink me from the damned dictionary? I'm getting really irritated about words in my posts showing up capitalized and underscored with dots. If I wanted them underscored or capitalized, I would have formatted them that way.

This is not an option right now sorry.

Awww, that's okay. It's pretty much an ego problem on my part; it just kind of makes it look as if I'm screwing up in my posts (which I tend to do a lot even without dictionary assistance ). Don't sweat it.

In the future we may plan on developing a feature to let you turn it on and off for posts.

It's not working in Opera for me.

Can you explain a bit more, what is not working? Seeing an error?

Dictionary = Library?

Dictionary = Library?

They are talking about the function that highlights and autolinks words in your posts to the corresponding library articles.

On an aside note/question----would it be much trouble to put the 'speellchek' option on the 'non-advanced' "quick reply" area?

Oh sorry I was thinking of an automatic spell checker - for those of us who can't type or are getting senile.
I was looking for a plugin which works with this site, might have to switch to FireFox.

I didn't even realize that there was a spell check: I just use firefox where it comes as standard (of course it always yells at me for using s's instead pf z's (like in realize) and putting u's into words (like colour).. but I can cope with that!)

I forgot about that---

I tried firefox, but it seemed to slow down the computer----(I'm still in the about 40% ? that still uses Win98se though)

I do have and use Ispell --its pretty good when I remember to use it--right click to check spelling, defintions to Wiki and/or Merriams-----and its FREE

I like the fact that part of your sig is in Latin too!

We *speak* it just fine. Well, except those from the Southern states who add extra syllables. I think they might still use British spelling and are trying to pronounce it phonetically using all the letters.

Under IE7 you can use the spell check that gets installed by PF from the tools pulldown for the quick reply box.
It also works from tools for any other website text entry.

Don't know about IE6 or other browsers.
