What happened to the Spell Checker?

Old Dood · 11-10-2007, 07:20 AM

I tried a seach on this question and could not find any.

Did this go away very recently?

Is it a resource issue? Broken?

Old Dood, we recently updated the vBulletin software on the site, which has caused the Spell Check feature to not work. We are working on finding a new version of the Spell Checker to install.

On the bright side, Firefox's spell checker now works on this site and it never did before.

Nsap, what's the deal with the chat? It shows like 25 people in there but no one is really there.

Also the more posts you have on a thread, the wider the pages become. If you look on the "Nascar sucks" thread you'll see what I mean.

Chat is another thing that has to be updated before it will work properly on the new vBulletin. I believe we are working on it, but it isn't a high priority at the moment...with auto show season here, etc.

vBulletin has always done that. I don't know what broswer you use, but it has always done it with me (IE 6, IE 7, and FireFox 2).

you should all use Safari (available for free for Windows now), by far the best and fastest web browser (with spell checker built in).
