It works for me... but, it doesn't seem to insert the corrected text back into the POSTING window. Seems that in Classic there was a second button which prompted whether you wanted to overwrite your original text with the corrected text.
The only way I found to move the corrected text back into the POSTING window was manual cut-and-paste.
Here's a screen shot of a Classic final SpellChecker page. When you click on it, I believe that the CLOSE button copies the corrected text back into the Posting window.
It does work in 7.1 but there is a big diffenece between this mod and the one used in the 6.7.x classic version. While it would be nice to get that level of functionality into threads it doesn't seem like the author is working on mods anymore.
BTW, if it where just a matter of "porting" it from cgi to php it'd be simple; howevever the two forum products (UBB.Classic and UBB.Threads7) are completely differant
That's cool. With 7.2 being released I can now pick and choose what I want to be installed again and wanted to see how your mod compared to the one in this thread. It's like being a kid in a modding candy store.
well, if you've used Gmail, then it's exactly like that look/feel with me swapping out the textarea with a hidden spell check area on the fly, then back.
I approve SD's comment above... Nowadays everything has a built in spellcheck; why worry about having to hack a mod into your forum everytime you have to upgrade when you don't need to?
Okay, I'll bite... As much as I use IE, I was unaware that it has spellchecking capabilities now.
I just went to Microsoft's site and couldn't find any reference to it. what am I missing? Which version of IE? Or are you referring to Vista?
Most of my users have IE and I can't ask them to go to FF or Chrome. Heck if they were that flexible, then they wouldn't be asking for a built-in spellchecker! ha!
I'm still a fan of this. Anything that gives the end (l)user another tool that offers to de-dumbify them is a good thing, and this mod is so incredibly easy to implement.

Thoughts? Thanks -
I realize that this topic is ancient but seeing that no one posted a link to the most used IE spell checker on the planet which has been out for years, I thought I would do that. hehe
Go here: ieSpell. It's 100% free and works in ALL versions of IE including v. 8.
