As a long time use of online forums and discussion groups, I know that doing spell check in a system like this is probably not possible. If you want to make sure that you are spelling things correctly then type your post in Word, using spell checking, then copy and paste the text into your post.

This is both effective and easy to do.

Err... What Lance (2-2dragoon) said!

A spellchecker is far beyond my meager programming skills. But if someone comes up with the PHP code for it I can always try to add it in.

Cheers,

I really shouldn`t worry too much about a spellcheck because I think that most people don`t care about their typing or that of other people at least I don`t bother my own typing nor that of someone else. And I never had a post or topic outside portugese and swedish, because I can`t read that, that I didn`t understand due to extremely bad typing

Here is a fairly simple solution to to your spelling woes.
Open one window to Armorama...like that needed to be made clear.
Open a second window to here: SpellOnLine
When you want to write or type, as it were, to a post, write it in the SpellOnLine page, check the spelling (it corrects all mistakes) than copy-n-paste it back at Armorama.
Simple.
You could alternitivly use you email client such as Outlook (Express) to do the same thing.

umm I think we ought to make it a requirement that model builders shouldn't be good Speelers

that way we can all keep to the current industry standards.
