XF 2.2 Spellchecker has been requested

[Alvin63]

A couple of my members have requested a spellchecker on the forum. I think that's because so many people post from their mobiles with loads of typos and phone auto selections giving the wrong words.

Is this possible? Assume it would need to be an addon.

From what I've read when searching the forum, people are saying a spellchecker isn't necessary as browsers can do that. However it does seem to be an issue with a lot of people using mobiles. I find myself that if doing a post from iphone it comes out with typos or the wrong word at times. A spellchecker addon would be useful.

I use this in my browsers, but there are apps for iOS and macOS as well as Windows, and it does an excellent job, it's also free with a paid for version if you want more features.

Thanks. I think the issue is members reading other members posts full of typos and incorrect words so it's hard to follow. So something that corrects them on forum or highlights it to the person typing, would help. Yes they should be more careful but it's easily done and sometimes you don't see all the errors until they appear on the forum.
