I have just made a couple of changes to the forum to enable the built-in spell checker in firefox to work within the forum.

If you haven't got the spell checker installed this is what you need to do

In the menu bar, go to tools , Options, Advanced. Under the general tab on this page there should be a check box saying 'Check my spelling as I type'

Make sure this box is checked.

Next you need to install a dictionary, go to the menu bar again, tools, add-ons. At the bottom right there should be some blue writing saying 'get extensions' click here to be taken to the firefox add-on site. On the lefthand side of this page should be 'Dictionaries' Click here and install the dictionary of your choice.

Finally when you get back to the forum, right click in a reply box and make sure 'spell check this field' is ticked.

There you go, incorrectly spelt words will be underlined in red.

Any questions, just ask. :smile:
