Need a spell checker?
Firefox v2 has an awesome built in spell checker. You have to tweak it a little in order for it to auto check the forum post form.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason why article titles and search terms aren't included in the spell checker is because Firefox only enables the spell checking on textarea fields, not text input fields, such as this forum post form. Lucky there's a quick fix for this.
To change this setting, just type about:config into the Firefox address bar, and then filter by this:
layout.spellcheckDefault
Just double-click on the item in the list and change the value to 2, as shown. No restart needed.
No more typos in the forum post forms!
