    would this be a possiblity for those of us (ME) who are horrid spellers. One of the other forums has it and I get yelled at alot less because of it.

    I use the one in my browser, but I'll see if we can add one to the forums.

    I use Google Chrome on both our family computer and my laptop, and to be perfectly honest, that feature is really annoying. Not all of us are really good spellers, and I just never did like that feature because I don't like seeing red lines under every word I spell wrong. Not only that, but it's not always really accurate to begin with, as not all words are in today's dictionaries. For example, some forum software names: Like Vbulletin, for instance. You know it's spelled correctly, but the browser thinks otherwise. A couple years ago, similar issue happened with the word phpBB. Just did it in a simple form, and your browser would think the word is spelled wrong. However, do it with a number after it, such as phpBB2 and phpBB3, and it would be considered as spelled correctly by the browsers natural standards. So I really think this would not be a good thing to have, especially when you consider that not all words are in today's dictionaries, such as certain forum software names. But that's my take on it, though.
