    It should be default in firefox. Built in. Try typing something wrong in the reply box and see if it underlines it.

    Nope still not working. Nothing on the toolbar, and nothing appens automatically when I miss-spell.

    Strange...

    Very strange, it should work out of the box.

    Tseting.

    No luck, I downloaded it twice and re-started Firefox. Its a pain, Firefox is so much faster, but I hate not having the spellcheck, or being able to see images, so I tend to go into IE for them, forget about it and stay there.

    Thanks though Sherifu.

    EDIT: Hang on its working now as I went in to edit?! Odd. I shall head over to Test, and play with it. Thanks!

    Ok, all in order!

    Just need to figure out why I can't see images now. I shall investigate.

    Works fine here for a first post, no edit. Try right clicking the reply box where you are typing, though not on any words. You should see an option along the lines of "spell check this field".

    Seem to remember I did that the first time I was on Boards after installing FF3.
