    Look in the top right hand corner of the Reply to Thread Message Pane for the 'abc+tick' logo. Hitting that will take you to a download of IESpell. Personally I prefer to use the spell checker in the Google Tool Bar.

    Bmoore1129--I use IESpell which puts itself into the IE Tools dropdown menu and can be used on text I enter on any website.
    http://www.iespell.com/
    I have a suspicion it is the same as the Google spell checker.

    I can use Google but I thought there was a spell check button right down next to "submit reply" and "preview post ".

    Pete, I don't see the abc+tick logo of which you speak....

    Pete

    I have the little double arrows but no ABC. I wonder if it gets there if I do IEspell even though I use Firefox.

    I have answered my own question. I opened IE and the ABC is there.

    So it's Google for FF and ABC for IE.

    IESpell is an addin for Internet Explorer - so you won't see it in Firefox :)

    Try the Google Toolbar for Firefox which has a built in spell checker ....
