Use this forum for Q&A of a technical nature, i.e., PC, cache, screen related problems, picture resizing, avatars and the like. We will also post facts here for you and instructions of a how-to nature which should make things more fun for you by eliminating some of the frustration with posting photos, etc. Thanks.

If you use Internet Explorer just select "Tools" and then click on "ie Spell".
I'd imagine there are ways to do it in other browsers as well.
Dean.
Not following this simple suggestion. Is the IE spell checker a special add-in?
I do not get anything that looks like a spell checker in my "Tools" drop down menu. When querying help for spell check, the first two entries are "Using Wordpad" and "Opening Notepad".

I've noticed this same thing, too, although over the last week or so. Congratulations on the changeover. Actually, about as seamless as was possible. Mark
There is an add-on called ieSpell that you can install to give Internet Explorer spell checking. I rarely use IE, so I can't tell you if it works well or not.
Personally, I use FireFox and Google Chrome. I like them better and I think they are a little more secure than IE.
Paul, I think the post count is quite high. It looks like 90% of the regulars are here at least. The who is online showed in the high 70's to high 80's yesterday evening, so most are here. However, like you, it does concern me that some may not be.
This is an odd time of year. Generally things get a little quiet. Come Christmas - New Year, they tend to go one way or another. You guys will have a better feel for the board though. Maybe if you don't see someone for a few days you could email them?
WW, I was wondering about something else. I have triple checked and your post count is 100% accurate. It has made me come across a handful of others though I need to verify.
My post count is showing 28; after being on this board for 11 1/2 years that seems a little low. I generally don't post unless I have something substantial to add to the conversation, but 28 posts...
I have taken some time and scoured the database and can assure you the count is 100% correct. Please consider that some of your posts would have been deleted, e.g. Classifieds and some of your posts archived. Archives were not transferred.
I am willing to consider that you may have used another username and if so, I am willing to merge accounts. That may increase your post count or alter your join date.
It is far too time consuming to change these details for everyone. Besides, when any maintenance is done, these changes would be lost because the system works by available fact.
Yes, that was my post but a long way from my first, available facts notwithstanding. Looking at that 12/21/04 post, it appears that something is out of sync as a large number of folks have a "joined" date that is the date of that very post.
Thanks for getting my joined date back. Perhaps I could qualify for "Cosmic Lurker" status.
The funky dates could be residual damage from the Great ezBoard Meltdown of 2005. ezBoard had a weird collection of backup materials, but nothing comprehensive. Some forums recovered some data. The Glass forum was totally wiped out. Everything there restarted in June 2005. In reality, the starting date doesn't matter a whole lot.
Because of the ezBoard Meltdown, the Yuku developers promised forum owners the ability to hold their own backups. Yuku forum owners are still waiting. Here, the admins can make a forum backup whenever they need/want/desire one.
