Spell Check
it would be nice if you could copy what you write and run it through a spell check before you publish. i tried to download the spell check for your site and after 4 diferent pages , it errored and lost my post.

If you use Firefox then you can download an extension called Aspellfox which works pretty well.
For non-Firefox users try this site.

write it in Word first, use spellcheck there, and then copy it into here.

I don't use it - I'm a good speller (although sometimes a lousy typist).
I have no trouble reading your posts, cara, if that is what you are asking.

Eaglelox, you can download the Google taskbar which has a spellcheck function on it that works on message boards. Hope that helps.

I used to spell fairly well but find myself slipping these days.
But I generally know when I am uncertain and go to a dictionary site and check it out.
Or sometimes when I am writing something a bit more complicated for the web, will do as Mudbug said and write it in Word and then just copy.
Of corse I dont always do all of thet and will admet I hav maid mistaikes.

Sorry to post again, but spell checkers are not the entire answer.
For example, 'doe snot' will pass through the spell checker when you meant 'does not'.
As another quick example, 'pubic utilities' may give Mr. Spell Checker a smiley face but he will let it go when 'public utilites' were what was meant.
There are many more examples.
Nothing beats a quick proof read.

Another vote for Google tool bar, blocks those pesky pop ups as well but you can disable it if need be

paste is what i ment. must have got by the spell check.
when posting or in quick reply, after typing you cant copy it till you preview or post.

That sounds like a problem with your computer actually. There is nothing on the site that prevents copying before previewing or posting. I do it all the time actually.

type something in the quick reply box, then try to copy it before posting it. i can copy from any where else. i belong to about 20-30 different forums. this is the only place that this happens. it is not a big deal. i only posted this becuse this is the help and idea forum.

Eagle, I don't have any trouble copying things in the Quick Reply box.
See:

I can also paste from another document:
We meet the last Saturday morning of the month.
