Spell Checker Maybe?

Post by Athie »

This is just an idea, and don't worry about this being that important. :3
It's just that, some of the people on here, I can't understand a word they're saying. I know they might not use it, but if it's available do you think it might clear up things a bit? What do you think?

(For the sake of this post, everything after this line will be used without the Spell-Check)

OK, so Firefox has a spelll-check built in. Seriously, if I dodn't use it, my typing would suck. Although, some people won't be allowed to get Firefox, it already has one. I'm not sure if a Spell-check is built into PHPB3 forums.

(Huh, whaddaya know, only 2 typos!)

I think a spell checker would slow down the site and loading time, and not to many people would use it it so It would cost more than its worth basically :omochao:

Well maybe there could be a button on the bottom of the post like this:

People may not use it, but in the RP forums, it might be helpful, because some people may not know that they are using typos. :/

(BTW;; this pic is on a proboards forum. I know it's not the same as a PHPB3 forum, I just wanted reference of a 'spell check' button on a forum and an example to show what I meant. :3)

I think it's a good idea :p
I would use the spell check...my hands move to fast and I'm always hitting extra keys by accident.

Not a bad idea. Pretty much like Gamefaqs.

The thing is about it is some people wouldn't use spell check if it was there so it would be useless and a waste of money for mooncow.

There are 2 possibilities.
1) Mooncow pays for the amount of Bandwidth his site uses
2) He pays a monthly/yearly fee.

If it's possibility one, then yes, it would be a waste of money.
