Spell Check
I have only very recently been posting on AO, but I was wondering about the spell check program. I was wondering f maybe AO could use a browser based one, because on some computers (or OS's, I dont know which) it will freeze. I was just wondering if this could maybe be fixed.

\"Look, Doc, I spent last Tuesday watching fibers on my carpet. And the whole time I was watching my carpet, I was worrying that I, I might vomit. And the whole time, I was thinking, \"I\'m a grown man. I should know what goes on my head.\" And the more I thought about it... the more I realized that I should just blow my brains out and end it all. But then I thought, well, if I thought more about blowing my brains out... I start worrying about what that was going to do to my goddamn carpet. Okay, so, ah-he, that was a GOOD day, Doc. And, and I just want you to give me some pills and let me get on with my life. \" -Roy Waller

To save time I sometimes will write a post in a word Processor (OK you got me MS Word) and spell check it then cut/copy and paste it into my post. Especially if it is going to be lengthy.

The spell check doesn't work. It never has, and probably never will.

I tried the spell check here once and it crashed my browser (mozilla on slack i believe), once bitten twice shy.

I've been bitten by that bug myself a few times on IE and mozilla.. probably opera too.
I'm not sure but it's probably been mentioned in oops a bug a few times.

wow I must be blind I never even noticed the spell check button before.
I must need to get my glasses looked at.
/edit
I just posted this so I could see what spell check button you were talking about.

there are also progs like this -> http://download.com.com/3000-2056-10248641.html
says it works with basically any windows prog so am assuming would work with your browser as well - I havn't tried it myself but it looks decent enough

I'm on IE v6 (latest patches, etc) and the spell checker has crashed it 4/4 times. Has it been posted in the bug forum before?
As someone else mentioned, a word processor is your best option (well, unless its like 3 lines long -- anyone who's smarter than NFG should be able to pick up errors in that  ).
