Rank: Guest		Posted By Neal Clark Manny, Many thanks for you message. You will be pleased to know that we have actually identified a spellchecker which can be integrated into our forums, and we are currently in the process of testing it. If these tests are successful, we will be looking to add this feature to the forums shortly. Thanks again, Neal Clark, Web Co-ordinator.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Ian P Would it be American or English because the number of times my computer warns me of a spelling mistake because I use an "s" instead of a "z" in "ise" gets right up my nose.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Neal Clark Hi Ian, You'll be pleased to know that the spellchecker does recognise English spellings, and will not try to make you change them to the American variants. Thanks again, Neal Clark, Web Co-ordinator.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Ian P Thanks Ron, I can do that on my home PC but the restrictions imposed by a paranoid IT department prevent me from doing it on my work laptop. They have more clipboards than a herd of H&S officers! (Is Herd an appropriate collective term or can anyone think of a better one?)
