Firefox has built-in spellcheck, which needs no activation. If you need more dictionaries & language packs for Firefox, .

If it doesn't work or if you're using some other browser... I have no idea. :)

I have two machines in my home running Win7 and Firefox, both successfully. I believe you are encountering some other difficulty in your system configuration.

You can also press control and use your mousewheel to zoom in and out.

Hey how do we screen our porn bots to keep them from selling something illegal if they begin to take that turn? Also for some reason our porn bots are getting older.
I can never think of anything witty to put into a signature.

Only Tinker can remove members from the list. But I suspect that he is too busy for that. :)

That's probably the Google [Bot] indexing our pages. We are being watched, gentlemen.

Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because

1. You're now several kilometres away; and

2. You've got their shoes.

Hey Tinker,

Have your efforts at stopping spam bots been successful? I've been running a phpBB forum of my own since September (for an open source project) and was having trouble keeping on top of them. To stop them from posting, I require that the first 2 messages from new members be moderated, but that did little to alleviate the time burden associated with deleting them.

The other day, I enabled the Q&A plug-in and it seems to be working so far, but it has only been a couple days. The questions I set up all pertain to my project.

Spambots are very frequently human-assisted -- that is, an actual person is involved in registering on the forums. Theoretically, even the Q&A method is not foolproof. I imagine it boils down to how much time the spammer wants to waste looking up answers to the question vs. proceeding with registrations on other forums protected only by captchas.

Absolutely. I have to delete spambots very infrequently.
