I'd add my thanks to that.  Seems like you've chosen some good software  that will allow the site to grow into the definitive site for model boat info. Here's hoping! Cheers, Peter T.  (p.s. any chance of a spell checker?!)

Hi Mayhem,
I had a quick look on the SMF site.  Under Database settings there is one defined as follows:

"enableSpellChecking
    * Version: SMF 1.0+
    * Default value: 0
Show spell checking buttons while posting and creating a signature. Will have no effect if the pspell module of PHP is not installed."

so wherever the database settings file is,  it looks like you need to set  "enableSpellChecking = 1" - but you also need the PHP pspell module! Looking at the SMF installation instructions it appears that it relies on the host having PHP installed (which it does because the Forum works!) but you need to find out if the pspell module has been included,
Cheers,
Peter T

Mayhem,

Following my last mail I also note that under "recommended system requirements" SMF lists:

"The GNU Aspell and [presumably at least one of]  its dictionaries for spell checking support."

Thanks for the 'Heads up' Peter on spell check, I've had a look and it seems to involve installing a Spell Check Modual but then doesn't tell you how to?!?! They seem to assume you know how to do it....  :-\

"Scale sail" now added Navigator.

Hi Mayhem,
what module are you referring to? If it's the php pspell one the manual seems to be at http://shadetreehandyman.com/pspell/1_Introduction.html and linked pages.   At http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=76195.0;prev_next=prev there is a thread on installing pspell - hows your unix?!  I've dabbled with php and can work unix from a user's perspective but this looks like some skill in unix admin is needed!  What op system / server do you run on?
Cheers,
Peter T
