    It's been four years now and I've had enough! Why does the spell checker on an Irish site tell me my spellings are wrong when I am simply spelling them the UK/Ireland way? I thought it was my browser but when I changed to Chrome, the problem persisted. If there is a way to change this, I would love to know how. Thanks in advance.

    There's a spell checker on boards?!

    Where is this?

    As I am typing, colour has an annoying red line underneath it and color does not. Are you joking?

    Gordon does not joke. :cool:

    But what he says is true, there isn't an inbuilt spellchecker on Boards, so it's most likely a feature of your browser, a plugin (like one I downloaded for Firefox a week or two ago) or something to do with your language settings.

    Ok thanks, I will post the fix in the newbie forum if I figure it out. I'm sure it is annoying other people too.
