Would it be possible to have a spell checker available on the Board. Or is there one already that i just cant find ? Or is there one that i could use that does not have to be in Lotus or Microsoft. I know this might sound silly but i do have genunine reasons for asking.

Thank you.

There used to be a spell checker, I used to think it came in handy at times, I wondered where it dissapeared to,
It went after the change of of versions of bulletin.

i'd be for it, god knows my spelling can be terible at times *

So would it be possible to have it on here ? I am sure it would not take that much to to actually do it. It would really help spme people that post here. Ok the p looks like an o. But it would really help a lot of people here if we could spell check out posts on the Boards b 4 posting. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Unless you all have broadband, id imagien it woudl be pretty slow. id also imagine it would slow the boards down allot

You could use www.dictionary.com either.

Manic · 20-01-2002 12:32am

It was just a thought on my behalf. If it effects the board in any way please ignore it

I think it used to be a free feature of a certain site that you could send your form via their site and it would run specified form elements (the message field in our case) through a spell checker. Unfortunately, it seems, they started charging for this feature and so Boards.ie, in their wisdom, stopped using it.

I seem to remember Cloud saying something along those lines... I could be wrong, as I've had a few pints tonight.

Dont know why its gone, but it wasnt slow. It was fairly zippy actually:)

Baz_ · 20-01-2002 6:00am

it was nice, and especially good after youd had a few pints as the spelling goes out the window then.

Manic · 22-01-2002 11:04pm

Well it seem's a few people liked the idea.

So i formally request that a spell checking feture be added to the Boards. If i am posting this in the wrong place could someone please re-direct it to where it shoud be please.

Thank you

I take it you missed the point..
The spell checker was free,
now they charge a price for it, boards.ie is run at a no profit scale, so are you willing to pay?

Manic · 23-01-2002 9:50pm

No i didnt miss the point. But there has to be more than 1 FREE spell checker out there ? Forgive me if i am wrong.

And yes i would be willing to pay

Lenny · 23-01-2002 11:55pm

Ok, maybe there're some free ones out there..
By saing paying, I ment pay for the spell checker for boards.ie, not like an indavidual payment..
If you want to pay for boards.ie to get it then contact Cloud, DeVore ASAP

Manic · 24-01-2002 10:44pm

By saying Paying i ment that i would not mind paying a small fee every time i used it on the Board

But as i said b 4 if its too much hassle to do or costs too much just leave it. So long as people dont mind putting up with my terrible spelling LOL!
