We FINALLY added a spell checker to the editor. Really sorry about the very, very, very long wait. To use the spell checker just click the ABC check mark box on the right side of the editor tool bar. It will then underline spelling mistakes with red-squiggles... just click on the words to see new options.

Man, its all comming together! now can you work on getting the weather to warm up a bit? how about by spring time?
Thanks AR!
Firefox itself does not have a built-in spell checker. One is available on the Google Toolbar as some AR's have mentioned when it is manually added as a Firefox extension.
Dan: Firefox does have a built-in spell checker. I don't personally use Google Toolbar (as it adds everything you browser to their indexes and I don't want our testing environments indexed into Google which are, sort of, hidden because only a few people ever use them).
You probably haven't updated in a while... it's native in version 2.0 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
One thing that I continue to be impressed with about Active Rain, is how often the staff responds to the members requests for improvements.
If you keep this up, AR will have every feature every realtor ever wanted in a blogging platform.
Three Cheers for the AR team!
Rich: That's what I'm afraid of ;) (joking)
Ben,
I stand corrected. Thank you for the clarification.
I am using Firefox 1.5. and do not usually update to the latest version until it has been out for a while especially when it is a major upgrade. You may be aware of the recent IPOD version update problems. I got hit recently by Microsoft myself. I had Windows XP set to "auto update" to get the latest security fixes. However, Microsoft decided to include Internet Explorer 7.0 and so, without my knowledge IE 7.0 was installed. While I prefer Firefox, many of my real estate web programs and Metrolist MLS do not support it forcing me to use IE. Guess what, I had problems with IE 7.0 and so uninstalled it. When I then used IE 6.0 it no longer worked properly. I called MLS support who walked me thru over half a dozen setting changes to have it funtion as it did prior to the installation of IE 7.0. I was told this is happening whenever someone goes to IE 7.0 and then uninstalls it which is happening quite often. Needless to say, XP is no longer set to "auto update"!

If it's possible to change the spell checker in any way Ben you might tell it that "NRA" (National Rifle Association) is not an acceptable substitute spelling for NAR. ;-)

Now that we have a spell checker, my blog about typos will seem much less relevant:
