Web Browser Spell Checkers - Page 2

fargon · 10-30-2006, 09:38 AM

I have Google spell check on my tool bar, and it works good. When I first started posting here people were giving me a hard time because of my spellin. I now use the spell checker and I feel as smart as everybody else here.

Bruce, I think that may be IE specific. I don't see it in Firefox and never have. But when I load up IE it shows up.

Damn, I thought the Cellar program (vBulletin) dictated what everyone sees.

I run Firefox and have it

I have Firefox and don't have it.

While I'm at it, I also don't have the ability to post a reply with the Alt-S combo with the new (stoopid) FF2.0 and I'm pissed. A reward to the first person to solve this connumdrum: A tip jar hit in their name. Ready go!

Shit. "History" again. I mean :creeeps the mousey over teh postquickreply button.... click: grrrrrrrrRRRRR

To restore Alt+S in FireFox 2:

Open up a new Window/Tab and type “about:config” in the address bar.

In the Filter bar type: “ui.key.contentAccess” and press enter.

Double click the item and change the value from 5 to 4.

You rock so hard, UT.

I do not offer this as anything like "news", I just wish to publicly acknowledge the truth of the matter.

Thank you, (again) sir.

Plus I get to shed that stupid (but effective) user title. You're all stoked about that one, aren't you?

richlevy · 11-02-2006, 07:10 PM
