Mark, Mike, Randy, an AV forum I use http://www.avforums.com/index.php is now using a spellchecker which works really well. Although I preview my posts to death I'm terrible for not seeing speling mistakes until after I've hit the 'Submit' button and am forever having to edit silly typos.

On this particular forum the spellcheck is presented as an option alongside the 'Preview' and 'Submit' buttons.

I know you've looked at spellcheckers before, maybe even this one? anyway, it seems to do the job.

Just FYI (and not a Mac vs. PC thing) but anyone with a Mac using Safari as their browser can go to ->edit->spelling->check as you type and have this happen automagically, on any site where you type in a browser window.

For those using a PC, you can use and IE, you can use iespell. This works with most message boxes on the various webpages. I use it, though I often forget..hehe.

I'm sure Mike will look at this, we've been a little reluctant to add some of the php add on's since we're kind of in the "if it ain't broken don't fix it mode", and we don't really have a test region to run some of the enhancements. But Mike has mastered php in a short time and really seems to have a handle on it.

The trouble with spellcheckers is that they don't detect words that are mis-used, such as there instead of their or they're, your instead of you're, etc.
