    Default New Spell Checker Thingie

    Is it just me or Firefox but did a MS Word type spellchecker just get installed at the forums? You know, the red underline things?

    It's firefox. I swear it's inconsistent sometimes though.

    It's been in for months, since the last major update.

    I strongly advise you to ditch the US spellings asap (unless you live there, of course)

    It doesn't appear on default in the quick reply box, only defaults with the advanced reply option.

    Yeh, that is annoying.

    What I end up doing is quick replying, then quick editing (where it does appear) to fix typos

    Right click anywhere in the click quick reply box and select "spell check this field" from the menu.

    Is there anyway to reset the dictionary, I've accidentally added misspelt words to mine.

    I can't find any means for editing a dictionary either directly or via another extension. It may involve actually manually editing the word list config file if that's possible. Probably better to reinstall the dictionary.
