This gets a bit technical .........

The web site has 3 different editors that can be used with the message boards. There is a default editor for everybody but you can change the editor you use quite easily.

To do this:-

(1) Log in(2) Click on your login name where it appears top left(3) Select Preferences(3) Find the dialog "Wysiwyg editor' and 'Wysiwyg editor to use'(4) Select the editor you wish to use(5) Save(6) Return to the board and use the chosen editor

TinyMCEThis is the default editor. It does not have a spellchecker shown on it

KupuA very basic editor - don't bother with it

FCKeditorListed, but no longer supported and does not work

CKeditorThis editor does offer spellchecking

I will look into whether or not we can configure TinyMCE to show a spellchecker so that Users have an alternative with this feature

I have noticed that the 'spell check'has started to automatically work on my forum postings. I can now put away my Macquarie Dictionary (at last)

Many thanks to the Webmaster for all the behind the scene hardwork in keeping this forum running with some decorum.

Xmas wishes to all.

Happy Christmas Mr Webmaster!I find CKeditor does not work on Android 4.4.4Never mind...but is there a way to avoid need to login every time I visit? Maybe that would make it less secure and harder to remove a contributor if a subscription lapses. ..?
