Not sure if this exists, but I did a search for it and didn't see anything that had been completed.

I suggest that myBB come with a built-in spell checker (or a mod), perhaps working exactly like Firefox's / Microsoft Word's, with a little red squiggly line under a misspelled word, and you can right-click it to see how it should be spelled.

What do you guys think? Can this be done?
Yeah, this is something I would like to. I have a site that uses Google for a spell checker, but he has a license that says I have to talk to him before I incorporate it into any software.

And what's to stop you from simply using Firefox, so the messages you write in MyBB are spell checked? I think that's a preferable solution to reinventing the wheel. Don't we all agree yet that Internet Explorer is pathetic and dangerously insecure?
I use Firefox - my members do not.
Your members should use firefox if they want spell checking - no need to reinvent the wheel

Urge them to switch. Smile
I found a python script which does a spell check much like Google's:

Well i would put images and link and what not saying go Firefox and all but i do think this would be better as a plugin as i would not like to see a spell checker as i use Firefox and i dose the job very well.
