Spellcheck glitch?

    We were just noticing this: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055320020

    in short, the spellcheck in Firefox isnt working anymore. It seems to work fine on other sites for me (like the steam forums) so its not purely a vbulletin thing; and it also seems to work for the Edit Post function but not when you make a quick-post.

    Anyone else getting this?

    It's always been on and off for me. Sometimes it would be enabled sometimes it wouldn't. Right click, and tick "spell check this field", always fixed it.

    And I can't see it either! We're obviously not among the chosen 6th! :(

    I'm using firefox but there's nothing there to suggest spell check. :confused:

    The IE Pro add-on has a spell checker and a few other goodies as well.

    Meh.
    It only has American spellings, which everyone knows are wrong.

    That's a gross generalization.

    That's true by default, but you can download other languages.

    I downloaded the British English version.

    Generalisation.

    Yep. It's telling me it's wrong.

    Stupid American spellings.
