Andy

Is there any chance of a spell check button so that I can check the post before I press Post reply.

Regards

Terry.

Depending what browser you use, spell chickers are available as add-ons, do a google and see what you find, this is checked with iSpell (and it doesn't like chickers)

I have Mozilla Firefox with Google Tool bar and spell check on and it dose not like the RMweb site as each time I press spell check it deletes what I have just typed in, which is the first time that I have noticed that.

See attached image.

Great web site to boot.

OPERA did the trick for me. It also allows you to cut and paste within this box.

Make sure you have the British dictionary installed and Firefox has built in spell checking https://addons.mozil...efox/addon/3366 chickers gets red-lined here too

There is a spell-check built into the reply facility (ABC & tick icon.. top right), is this feature disabled? Have not had cause to try it yet.

Is it better to be Knowledgable or Well Informed?

That button is in Internet Explorer only, and it requires the ieSpell program to be downloaded.

Firefox with the British dictionary add-on has live spell-checking, or via the right-click menu (but there is no actual button).

Martin.

Google Chrome on both OSX and Windows spell checks for me automatically, without any input from me, and without installing anything, nice and handy i think.

The Chrome spell chicker (yes it did find that, and has suggestions including checker, chicken and thicker) is set for English(UK) on my PC. I don't recall setting it to UK English so I assume it looked up the regional settings in Windows during the install.

Google Chrome in Windows 7 (or any OS I suppose) has a live checker... and even though the spell-check is made by Google, the name Google is not in the dictionary... Strange.

No stranger than the fact that Google Chrome doesn't support the Google Toolbar :blink:
