Hey Hobbs was wondering how hard it would be to put a spelling checker in the before you submit post area in forums so we can make sure we spelled everything right? It would make life alot easier. Just checking to see if this is possible and if so then putting in a request for one. Thank you very much. _________________________________________________________

While this is a great idea, why not just use the google toolbar. It has a spell checker that works on all web pages and forms. There are no issues using the google bar spell checker on these sites. I use it but sometimes I don't, he he.
You can also install a spell checker in Firefox as an add-on that automatically can check your spelling and highlight found mistakes. Problem here is that this won't work on 360-hq because you can't right click to use it but it would work on xbox-hq, psp-hq and pc-hq.
The servers do support Aspell at the web server level but the webmaster would need to write code in order to use it. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

Holy cow bat man! I never even noticed that spell check on the tool bar, and never knew it worked this good! Damn I have wasted a lot of time copying posts, putting it in my mail program to spell check it then recopying it and pasting it back in a forum. Its such a hassle I usually just don't bother unless its something Important and I don't want to look like a total retard.
Thanks for mentioning this, its going to come in handy.

I forgot to say that the Google tool bar spell checker is for both IE and Firefox. I've been using it for a few years and never had any issues. It is free too. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
