What happened to the spell checker?

I'd like to know, it came in handy.

It's still available with the "plain post" box. Click "use plain post" to use it. The spell checker isn't compatible with rich text box.

Now Jeff, I have a question about that. Is there any way to get plain text to show up by default? I hate having to switch to it whenever I want to use the spell checker, and then worst of all, I forget to copy my text and I lose all of it and have to rewrite it!

Hey, SFGAm management, can I buy a couple cages of Sky Whirl?

I feel like a goober but I'm really having trouble with this spell checker thing. I clicked on "use plain post" and after the new window comes up with my signature, I still don't see a spell checker button. I have java enabled and all that good stuff too. What am I doing wrong. :(

That thing is history... Spellchecker.net stopped offering the service free, so I stopped supporting it.

Oh, okay. Now, perhaps, I don't feel quite so much like the goober. :) What a shame they quite offering that service for free like that. I know I liked it when it was still around. And God knows, some people around here could SURE use it. Hey, there's an idea, let people post all they want to.. but the catch is they have to spell check it, and pay for each spell check! HA HA.. that would eliminate two things.. useless noise, AND bad grammar. (okay.. I'll resume the goober title once again!)

If you guys have MSworks, write what you want to say in there 1st then use the spell checker with it. Then you can cut and paste your post to here.

Like anything on the Internet, it's hard to pay your bills with advertising. Maybe if that sinks in people will stop complaining about ads, the need for a club, etc.
