One thing that slightly annoys me when I am typing a message to submit to Geekzone forums is that Firefoxes inbuilt spellchecker does not work. Why is that?
I see it works in the quick reply but not in the full editor.
Any way to get it enabled and if not how about a spellchecker built into the forum editor?
Someone with spelling & typing as bad as me needs it desperately.

You won't see Firefox/Chrome/Safari's spellchecker working in RTE (Rich Text Editor) as it is a layer of iFrame that render out in HTML format from a hidden textarea which actually holds the HTML markup.

In short, you're out of luck mate.

Actually in Chrome the built-in spell checker does work.  This is why I love Chrome!

When you folks say "works" is in the rich-text editor or the Quick Reply box?

Both with Chrome too, think it's definitely a Firefox only issue

what do you mean "turn it on"?
I have the firefox spellcheck in pretty much everything except the rick text editor for the geekzone forum.

Oh - I got it. If you right click from within the rich text editor there is an option to "check spelling". It just doesn't load automatically like it does in other forums / web pages etc.

Using Firefox when I right click the Quick Reply text box Check Spelling is always ticked. When I right click the Compose Reply text box Check Spelling is always unticked.

If Quick Reply defaults to ticked I don't see why Compose Reply can't do the same.

I have to remember to "right click and tick" every time I do a non-quick reply if I want to check the spelling.

GZ uses the TinyMCE editor for compose reply, apparently there is a config setting (which defaults to off) to toggle the Firefox/Gekco spellchcker

The supreme bean will need to change the TinyMCE config/theme server side.
