The spell checker does not work.

Can you elaborate ... browser etc. And where you used it and when etc... What words it didn't pick up etc...

Saying it doesn't work could mean hundreds of things.

If you mean on this forum, that is known.

It works on all user forums? (ie. the only ones that matter)

When I click "Check Spelling" in firefox 3.6, the box loads, but no words come up.

On this forum?

Yes.

Yes.


It shouldn't do.

As I said, it is broken on this forum - I have known this for a while. This is because this forum is hosted on a separate server to user forums and this server does not have aspell (the software which does the actual spell checking) installed on it. It'll be fixed at some point, but that is a long way down my current to-do list.

Most browsers have a built in spell check anyway. ^^.

Unless you use IE. XD
