    I always used firefox for browsing boards.ie and when typing a reply to a post for example there was always a spell checker which would underline in red any grammar mistakes. I have since bought a new PC and Im using IE 8 but the spell checker isnt there. Is there any way of enabling this on IE8?

    Why haven't you re-downloaded Firefox?

    I was thinking of doing this but I kinda got the feel again for IE and thought Id continue with it for a while but the spell checker was one of the very few problems I have.

    Unhelpful. Don't post again unless you have something to contribute.

    tbh im loving IE. I dont think ill ever go back to FF, chrome and all those other applefag browers i found horrible.

    Yes yes IE is probably more vunerable, but FF has its own issues too. Keep yoru AV and stuff up to date and all will be fine :)
