Default Spell Check on Postings?

Is there a spell check option when we create posts on this forum? I find that after I post a thread, it usually has a million spelling errors....(I'm not a teen ager any more!) LOL
Is there any way to spell check a post online before submitting it? Thank You -

I copy and paste in Word, check it, then put it back.

I've noticed that since the upgrade a few days ago, when I write new posts, any mis-spelled words are underlined in red for me so I can corrrect then before Posting my reply.

Prior to the forum upgrade, I too would to put it in Word and check it there, then put it back.

I'm using FireFox 2.0 as my browser.

Note the word "correct" in the screen capture below

I do not think there is a spell checker in the posting editor, what you can do is use Word or any other text editor with a spell checker and paste it to the post.

Well I've got a spell check when I use the forum now.

I'm starting to think that perhaps FireFox 2.0 is doing that for me....

I use a little program from iespell.com, integrates into iexplorer. As I'm posting there is a "ABC" with a "Check Mark" under it in the upper right corner of my message area that is used to check my spelling.

This program allows you the user to "Highlight Text" then "Right" Click to check the spelling. Can be used in any web site to check spelling. I must admit someone else here turned me on to the program.

You may want to download Google's toolbar for your browser. On it is a spell check button for anything you type on the internet. It's for free and works great. I haven't experienced any conflicting issues with either Internet Explore or Mozilla Firefox browsers.

Upper right hand side of the box you type in has a check mark with abc on top that is the spelling check .

The spell check is in the top right corner above the smilies, its the ABCs inside the box. Now I can be as smart as the rest of you.

Just change your user name from "BABBAH" to "BUBBA" and all will be forgiven!

Default Spell Check

I too, am using Firefox V2.0.0.4, and it DOES have spell-check. I looked in the release notes, and there it was---new feature--spell check. You can still spell wrong---it just lets you know.
