Problem with forums

o_someoldguy · 02-11-2005, 10:42 PM

Can someone fix the spell checker for the forums? It seems there are a large number of posts where the spelling is atrocious, or they contain an inordinate amount of IM script kiddies' abbreviations.

Of course the latter cases do keep the bandwidth down, eh?

Thanks!

There is no automatic spell checker in PhpBB or VBB or whatever this is. Plus, I doubt that they would stop people from using LOL, OMG, ROFL, or any other abbrivation since it's common in every board.

I like how the Steam forum's filter highlights any instance of "alot" in orange.
