Hi there.

I searched for "spell checker" but all I found was a thread from 6 months ago praising that it was back :S

Is it because I have turned blind, or did it disappear with the new look of the site?

EDIT: wrote "appear" instead of "disappear"... jebus I'm tired...

Hey Gorlak,

What is it you're specifically looking for?

If you wish to continue discussion or to add something to the long dead "Spell Checker Thread" it would be best to create a new one.

More than likely it just became dead and so was forgotten.

The Spellchecker was most likley de-activated sometime, by acident, and will need re-activating. The admin (FT) will most likley re-activate as soon as he's back online and has some free time

A spell checker

but Sorck cleared it up nicely, so thanks for that.

Just as a note, the Spell Check button normally appears beside "Preview" when you post your message

Yeah I know, but haven't seen it there for quite some time. You don't have one right? 'Cause if I somehow turned it off in the settings or something it would be nice to just flip on again

You could use any word processor, but if you don't have one with a built-in spell checker then you could use the one from here which aworks (but the gramatical part of it doesn't work, it gets there and their mixed up for example :P)
Also, if non of the above work you could always get hold of a copy of Open-Office (free, similar to microsoft office)

IIRC, I believe Open-Office comes free from/with Java Updates.

jimmy_mymail · 02 Sep 2009, 21:22

There is a java updater available fpr Open Office (created by Sun)
Open Offices Spell Checker isn't as good as Microsofts but then it doesn't cost anything like as much (in fact, it's free)
Sun as a general company produce several good products including their own free OS

Anyhow, I'll just see about FT re-activating the spell checker

It should be back soon
