I think the bigger question here is "Why are you still using explorer?". Do yourself a huge favor and make the switch.

I'm not sure if that was directed to me or not...but yes, I have it now. Instead of making a change to Firefox, what wrong with BS getting a spell checker?

Using firefox is easier. I know when you send a PM on the main sites you have a spell check option.

Most forums have built in spell checkers for people to use before posting anything, Balto Source needs a built in spell checker. Because I'm using explorer at the moment and it's annoying to alwasy use Mirco. word to spell check everything. But anyway, it would make life easier if we could have a spell checker here.

It's probably just not needed.

Safari, Firefox and Chrome have a built in spell checker, and IE has a lot of toolbars that can check spelling. The majority of people using the site are probably using one of those 3 browsers or the toolbar.

In that case, the spelling errors are caused by pure laziness. I doesn't take much to right click the underlined word, and spell it correctly.

That's how people are these days, sadly. But I believe people just don't care if they spelled something wrong or not.
