Troy Spiral Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Its not such a complex thing to add. Due to this i feel it should have been a feature day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think this a nice feature, but I don't know if it's that vital to be warranted a "day one" feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude7273 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 1. Won't it be someone PHP/Processor Intensive? 2. If the WYSIWUG is Java or something of that form, a spell check could be in it and run from the users processor, therefore in it 3. Why not "+1 plus opinion" in another topic on Spelling? (Lol, or Rikki's blog?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 A Spell checker should be Quite easy to Implement, but it is not a Solution to the problems that most people are Experiencing. Most people don't care about little spelling errors, but posts that take a hour to "Decode" becuase of Bad Grammer. The only way to deal with this is to Periodically remind your Community to use less netspeak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 This should be live asap. No more waiting. Its not such a complex thing to add. Hurry up please. This should have been a feature day 1. Saying "Hurry up" and making demands isn't really the best way to go about making a suggestion. I don't know if you intended it, but that sounded pretty rude to me. Perhaps you could be more articulate with your words for your next request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Spiral Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 My post probably was stated a bit more abrasively than it was intended, and also probably interpratied more abrasively than it was stated. Edited the above post to better reflect intent. (although unable to edit the title) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1880 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I would love spell checker in IPB, sad to see only in v-forums, Is there a plug -in or anything for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpell7 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I would like one too, but like things go here at IPS, they never meet deadlines nor do they post deadlines. Its always "just wait" and find out, and because of that I've decided to stop using their products because I am not going to sit around for them to deliver.

Falling Down Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 if you do one... please in more lang, then just english: german and french would be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Spiral Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 dont slow them down by confusing the issue and asking for more languages and such before we even have an english one hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Down Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'm only asking for the most common languages (though, this would be chineese... :P) no, just kidding... there would soon be some mods anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyjamison Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hey I agree this would be a great feature. if you are in desperate need on a spell checker their is a really easy mod you can add that places one on the posting screens next to the indent button. It does require some minor Template Bit editing but other then that you do not need to touch the original code.Here is the link to where the spell check is on www.invisionize.comYou can see this in action on my IPB forum by Clicking Here I do agree that eventually it would be a cool and useful feature for IPS to incorporate but until then i have found satisfaction in the mod for now. I forgot to add if you do not want to register to see it in action you can use the testing forum and just post anything so you can check it out.

Lemon Head Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I don't know how many topics have asked for this, but I know I've made several! The IPB Spellchecker at Invisionize currently only works in Standard Text Editor mode, not RTE. The guys there need some help with Javascript (last time I checked), something about linking it to the iframe or something. I wish I could help but know nothing about it.

At least someone who needs it can use it on standard if it is a big need. I have a question what is the difference between the two editing modes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipstenu Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 -1 1) Browsers should effing well build this in (Safari does! Firefox and IE need to catch up). Try IE Spell and Spellbound for firefox :) 2) We all have 'customized' dictionaries (my name is never in a dictionary, thank you non-english names) 3) Server intensive options are not needed.

tlmii Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I think spell check on forums provides very minimal utility to the vast majority of users of forums. There are many significantly bigger items for them to work on that would impact the users even more and i'd rather them be working on those.
