I just thought about something when I was rereading though my long post. Is there anyway you could add a spell check to the forum? Mabye even a grammer check? I think this would help out alot, b/c I see people make mistakes all the time. Even me

Just a thought

 

vB used to have a built in spell checker that was provided by an outside source for free, but the company providing the service removed the free service, and so the option was commented out in the files, if I remember correctly. That's been years ago.

Such a function does not come with vBulletin (not even the new vB3.0). There are some who have developed hacks that can be added with some work. However, I'm not sure that such a feature will be added in the immediate future, especially not to this version before they upgrade to vB3.0. Most minor-major additions like that will not roll over when TGO upgrades.

However, I could be wrong. Dirk or Iroc will have the final answer on that.

The other problem is, unless you force a spell checker on people (I don't know if TGO would like such an idea), I think a large percentage of people who could use a spell checker feature won't make use of it on their own (unless forced). It's usually the people who take the time to check their posts that want a spell checker for the others who do not ...atleast that's what I've seen.

 

You got it JT. Waiting for VBB 3.2.
