Some people on this site including me really suck at spelling sometime. Is there a way to get a spell check on here? Thanks! :cool:

Thanks! I remember other members mentioning it from time to time so I don't think I'll be the only one interested :thumbup:

Right now there is not a very good server-side option for vbulletin wrt spell checking.

One program that some have recommended (I have not tried this out) is iespell, which is an Internet Explorer plug-in that supposedly allows you to spell check before posting on websites, including forums.

If you try this out - let us know how it works.

I think you meant to use the "Assface is sexy" smilie. It's ok, that's a common mistake.

We need a BIM proof spell checker...is this still being looked at. It can't be that difficult to add could it?

*sigh* yes it is very difficult to do from the server-side because 1) that means a dictionary needs to be maintained and 2) It will mean that non-dictionary words like Stoudemire, McCown, Assface, Bidwill and whatnot would be flagged on every post for correction.

I like the BIM system. Seems to work.

Well some people want to quitely know what words they've mispelled instead of being made fun at :) I would just like a normal spellcheck like you have on an email where they just go through the words and let you skip the words you don't want changed....

You could always write your message in Word & then copy & paste to the reply area. I do that sometimes & it works fine.
