antarmike Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Is there a timelock on older posts that prevents me editing all but the most recent of my own posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Marmite!! Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 It's just that sometimes I re-read an old post of mine and I don't really understand what I have put because the grammer is wrong, or something is mis-spelt. I don't want to change history, but I like my posts to be reasonably good English and to have proper spelling. 24 hours should be enough time to correct spellings....

0 gritineye Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Spell checking posts......... when a word is underlined in red, position your cursor over it and right click, a list of alternatives will in appear in bold, click on the correct one and it will be substituted for the miss spelling. I found this purely by accident by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 antarmike Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 And sometimes I want to re-post a picture because it is relevant to another thread. I use edit to copy the photobucket link in an HMVF post, rather than trawl through countless pages in my photoalbum to find it. I can no longer get to the link to copy it in this way.

Just tried it & nothing:confused: May be just a Firefox thing, when I right click a menu appearers with amongst other things the option to 'Spell check this field' clicking this enables the function.

0 Joris Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Joris please don't turn that off as well! Although I know what you mean when I use quote, I try to limit the quote to the significant bit, it also helps where there are various threads within threads eg Humber Pig pictures thread & I also omit "quoting" pictures. I will never remove the Quote thing, sorry if you got that idea. Quoting is very important on forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Firefox and Opera both have spellcheckers built in. Very nifty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArtistsRifles Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yeah Firefox and Opera both have spellcheckers built in. Very nifty! And they don't take the O/S out when they crash - unlike IE.... :argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
