    Recently someone sent me a link to an online dictionary to use when posting. I had to do a system restore and lost the dictionary. I thought I saved the link to it, but evidentlly I did not. I just googled online dictionary and internet dictionary, neither of those got me the dictionary I need. Can someone please send me information on where I can download a dictionary to check my spelling when posting? Thank you.

    There is a built-in spell checker. When creating a post to a topic, right above the smilies you will see a check mark with ABC above it. Click it while typing a reply.

    Did you notice this post:
    http://www.windowsbbs.com/windows-vista/79584-adding-abc-spell-checker-vista.html

    iespell is pretty good and very easy.

    --------tip----------
    In a pinch or if needing to check the definition....
    If I come across a word I'm not to sure about I can type it in google.com and if reasonably close google will either offer the correct spelling and has a link up top that redirects you the definition in an online dictionary.

    I couldn't find it

    Thank you Noah, but I couldn't find it. Don't worry about it because Goddez1 sent me a solution that solved the problem.
