Recent requests for the ability to edit or spell-check posts.
If you use Firefox as your browser, your posts, replies and shouts can be automatically spell-checked as you type. I am sure a number of folks already knew this, but for those who didn’t, hopefully this will make posting with fewer spelling errors a bit easier.

No, I didn’t know that!
I am DL it now as I type this, sheesh.
I have the worst spelling ever so I hope it is as good as you say.
I will thankyou for it after~ if it works :P
Ugh, standard or custom?
Which one do I pick? O_o
I’ve used Firefox for a long time…and it does a good job with spellcheck, among other things. There are a few designers out there that still aren’t checking compatibility with anything other than Internet Explorer, so keep that handy for occasional use.
I have firefox, but usually just use IE, so this information will come in handy, Thank You!
ok, finally got that firefox on, it is a bit different to what I am used too and the font has changed to.
How do you get it to spell check then or is it automatic?
It is automatic :) Similar to Word, it will underline anything spelled incorrectly in red.
oh ok lol thanks, so how should I test it?
Just spell something wrong?
Well I just tested it and it let me spell wrong, so what have I done wrong?
Nope not doing it and I checked the tab, it says i have spell checker as I type but I don’t Grrr

When you type in before you press the send button, hover your over any words that are underlined and right click.

Well i have gone through everything and it stil doesn’t want to work for me, so think I am just going to uninstall it…
Shame I liked the idea of haveing a spell checker on this site :(
Well I only wanted it for the spell checker and it wasn’t doing it so no point keeping it as it would only clog up my comp, so got rid of it, still don’t understand why it wouldn’t work O_o
Thanks for your help though :)

Of course we know this, but people in suffering and pain and misery aren’t going to facilitate things for us by spell-checking.
If you guys want this ability to work in chat you need to right click the text box you type into and click “Spell check this field.”
better, you can make it defualt to chat like i did. type in you addrresse bar
about:config
now filter find “layout.spellcheckDefault”
set the value to “2″
there you go. now chat will always be spellchecked, without haveing to right click every time.
thank you thank you *bows*
