| ...how to get the spellchecker to work on the internet? On my home PC it tells you in the boxes you type in when you've spelt something wrong, Microsoft-Word style. And I'm guessing that's happening for some of you guys when typing here on the 'board. But it's not workin for me. :( On firefox, under Options > advanced, the "Check my spelling as I type" box is ticked. And it doesn't work on Internet Explorer either. So...any ideas? :s |

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right. But...it doesn't work nonetheless. I made sure my firefox was up to date, and reinstalled it, but nope. it's broken. Never mind. Just you people be grateful of your fancy spellcheckers, and spare a thought for those who have none and have to copy and paste into Word whenever they want summit to be spelt proper! =P |

| Edit: Nevermind, I see you have the box checked. Hehe. I should bother reading first. :P Sorry your checker doesn't work, it's a lifesaver sometimes. |

Shouldn't that be 'Here's a thought'?

On FireFox, you can install add-ons for spell checking. I installed British Dictionary here:
