spell checker wanted

daneel · 10-01-2002, 11:31 AM

I would love to see a spell checker added to the forums so users could correct typos before posting. Any chance that this could happen?

There already is one. For some odd reason it only seems to work in OmniWeb, though.

OK j/k! If it's not a built-in feature supported by vBulletin, I wouldn't expect to see it here. There's no budget for it, and Rob is buried with work these days.

People could try using SpellCheck.net or cutting and pasting from TextEdit; and OmniWeb really does support the Apple spell checking service quite nicely.

It's not included, and doesn't seem to be on the list for version 3.0 of vBulletin, either (I just checked their site).

I hate working in input boxes so much that I compose most of my posts in either Mail or TextEdit (whichever is handier) and then, as Craig suggested, cut and paste.
