A few people have been asking about getting a spellchecker working with this website.

I've just answered this in an obscure thread, but here it is again in a thread that is easier to find the answer.

This is for Firefox only - other browsers will have their own method.

1. From within Firefox, click on the three horizontal bars in the top right hand corner.

2. Click on "Addons".

3. Search for the word "British" in the Find More Addons box.

4. From the search results, select British English Dictionary (Marco Pinto).

5. Click "Add to Firefox". Firefox should now show this.

6. Click on the three horizontal bars again and select "Options".

7. Under the "General" tab (at left), scroll down to "Language" and ensure that the "Check your spelling as you type" box is filled in.
