Spell Check

[tennjim]

have we lost spell check? 

Also, the "NEW" Icon doesn't link to the "New" post or thread.  It takes you to the first post in a thread.

As everyone else has mentioned (that we previously mentioned): All modern browsers include a built in spell checker. Including the newer versions of Internet Explorer. We aren't going to devote the time and resources to implementing a spell checker for outdated browsers. In addition to the resources and work we would have to do it would also slow down v5 for everyone, including people who didn't need it. Every feature on the page adds weight to the load. A spell checker would be very heavy.

Most users either already have a spell checker or have the ability to make the changes necessary to spell check should they wish to.

We will not be adding a spell check to v5.

As Peter quoted me, there will be no spell checker for the reason above.

Additionally the new icons are only like that right after conversion. They don't know what is or isn't new for you yet so they all just go to the first post. In a week or so you shouldn't even notice the anymore. We are currently working on a fix for this for forums who convert in the future.
