• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Is it at all possible to include a spell checker on this site?

I have seen them at other sites near the bottom of the post page between the "Post" button and the "Clear" button.

How 'bout it?

Do you think anyone would actually use it?
 
Just guessing, but we're pretty restricted as to what is and isn't included with the software. I imagine Rich will tell you his hands are tied. We can suggest features for the next version of VBulletin but that's about it. Rich didn't really create the skins you see on TFL; they're part of the software and he's just added a few TFL graphics.
 
A possible "work-around" solution may be to compose your responses in Word or another program with a spell-check feature. Run 'em through before you paste them into the reply box.

That might tide you over until vBull decides to include it in a future release.

HTH! :)
 
I am a terrible speller. I sometimes remember to write in my word program first, spell check it and then post. Not always. I should...
 
one of the revs of this software, that we had online for 3 or 4 daze before it imploded, had a spell checking "feature"
 
Articulate your posts in WORD, spell check, then enter it in the thread.

We have to have some errors or TFL would lose its flavor!
 
The Spell Checker that had been included wen't to a pay basis. vBulletin pulled it and is rumored to be working on their own.

Provide me a URL of a site that has a spell check and I'll look into it. I suspect you'll find these were all disabled when the service went pay.

I hope that this URL will come up. It's a few pages into the site, and it is the message posting page. The format looks to be similar to TFL, but I don't know about the underlying software.

Here is the URL of the main page if the above link will not take you to the post page directly. This is Harmony Central, a musicians board.
