   OUTSTANDING! 

Thanks for restoring that feature as I am in fact dyslexic, certain letter combinations (el - le for example) wreak havoc. And thats in addition to being a bad speller,,,  And we wont even get into writing skills,,,,

Thanks for the advice on browser options!  I'll take a look.

Ha just used it, forgot I have fat fingers as well and often end up with caps for the first 2 letters particular word,,,  THX ;-)

	Geo, one casualty of knowing some German is it messes up your English. "ei" and "ie" are a complete disaster. But it's worse if you have an out of date browser. I can't easily load a spell check. I've even tried typing something in word processing first, checking it there, then copying and pasting here. But the system blows it out, so that won't work. I just take my chances with proof reading. There's a simple trick to it. You read each word individually out loud as you look at it. That helps (somewhat).

	It does not matter much if the spelling is wrong, as long as all the caracters from the word are present. Where you write them is not important. Try this: did yuo nkow tath yuo cna raed tish evne it is spleled worng? srory for teh bad spleling...

	While we're talking forum settings, how about bringing back "delete" post? Every forum I know of has that. There are times I've thought it a nice feature. Like when I look at a post and think, you know, that really didn't add anything. Or after posting something, especially a long complicated post, you realize you've made such a mess of it, it's best to start over from scratch. Or where you get interrupted while trying to edit, and have to be away, but want to come back later and fix it.

	I still believe post should not be deleted or edited as it shows exact process of contents and the thread. You can always add another post to "fix" the bad one. Like luc says most wrods can be read even with mis-spelling, I got an email about this saying as long as the first and last letters are proper teh brain will fix the rset of the isseus. If you really think you need to make a long post or complicated one, I use a word program to make the post, then cut and paste it on here AFTER I proof read it and spell check it. Remember everybody makes typos and it's not the end of the world.

	In my opinion it would be good for us to have the maximum flexibility with our posts. And let's include an "ignore" feature too like other forums have.
