    Default spell check

    Hello,

    I notice that many DK members are not native speakers (as me myself), especially in the garage section where I use to hang out.
    Does it make sense to provide a spell check before posting or would this be just a waste of resources?

    Thanx for your comments.
    Yesterday we stood in front of the abyss. Today we'll move ahead.

    If you need any repair manual, pm me- maybe I can help you.

    I think you will find there is a spell checker, not htat i ave usd it...

    @ the top right hand side of the text box you will see a blue tick, that is the spell checker...

    I have only ever hovered over the "blue tick" & seen that it is a "spell checker", never actually used it until you said this.

    Just tried it now & it seems you have to download & install the "ispell" file to get the blue spell check button to actually work, but it was quite painless & took less than 1 min...

    Spell checker not showing in firefox, but ok in Internet Explorer. So maybe its not supported in firefox.

    Ah...I use Firefox so that's why I don't see it.

    But I also use the 'British English Dictionary' addon which underlines words that are spelt wrong on any website.
