Errrmmm….

When I need an American programme to instruct me in regard to usage of the English language... I'll resign :)

PS. The spell check pick up "Ermmmm"

Yes I disabled the Grammar check thing - right after I shot that annoyingly cute little puppy dog that wanted to "help" me all the time!

Muddy

I would have thought an edit function much more useful than spelcheka, nobody minds spelling mistakes, they are part of life.

Top point Truckster!

Would be higher on my list of priorities. How many times have you posted something and then re-read it 20 minutes later as you are reading other replies and thought that that your reply could just do with a little EDIT!

Ah well, Just have to post a little followup now and then.

Muddy

and it needs to be moved to another spot, thats bleep in annoying as hell there.

Clapping and cheering.....thanks for the little bit ov humor

Hey you mean non members get the spell checker as well

Maybe you should have to put a coin in the slot before it works, no change.

Darn, you guys deserve to look stoopid, what's the world comming to. :)

I'm outta here, need sleep

shoot, forgot to run the checker over it,

hey it doesn't know Engel or Waeco ???? we're stuffed.

Why has your sheep got wellies on it's _front_ legs too!? Are you kinky or something? :)

Good point Ray..

I reckon that spell checker should be 4 members only..

Quite right!

The non-members are smart enough not to need one :)

That's a NZ sheep Mike, has been a very wet winter in NZ.
Kinky, what on earth do you mean.

Now repeat after me, I shall be a loyal non member

Do you think I need to run the checker over this...nah, I like to live dangerously

Moved as requested.

MUCH BETTER!!!!!!

bleep bugger bum

Oh well - it spell checked the first word then 'bleeped' it - important you get it right before we bleep

1. URL's will be sorted soon - I am adding a new function to handle images and URL. I am also looking at unlocking some HTML tags to allow text colours and bold etc. This is on the drawing board.
2 Yeah I thought about this however it would make the database huge and slow down the speller. I am still looking into this feature.

Thanks

Thanks Dave - good effort.

and "I", etc, eg are a few other obvious things that it should allow.

Ciao for now

No it does not/will not/cannot at this stage and I really do not have plans to make it do it - Way to hard and in general the algorithms are almost as wrong as we can be half the time.

Thats where EDIT would or PREVIEW would be better #1...

now there's an idea David..an EDIT button would be great...

Hmmmm....

I have never been convinced the best way of imparting knowledge to a child was to hit them.

Mike Harding

nothing about imparting knowledge - but respect..

have a look at kids attitudes since they were allowed to do what they liked in schools...

Mike,

Delay is due to initial load of dictionary - The system uses a fairly complex dictionary system that uses compression and conversion system - I am still trying to learn the syntax to allow me to manage the word lists. I agree a hand cursor or similar would be handy (pun). Actually on testing the load speed is initially related to starting up the .NET engine on the server - I am still working on converting site code to .NET and once some more code is conveted the major delay will be removed as .NET will stay loaded.

As for the Add it loads the words to a personal dictionary stored in cookie on your system. I want to change this as it is not the best storage mechanism and is limited to a certain number of words. As I mentioned this is Beta testing mode and there is significant room for improvement.

Thanks for the cursor idea - I will see what is required in order to make it run and install it ASAP.
