Have a new section of the site. Called summat like Dan's Alphabet. Dan can then have as many new pointless threads as he likes and we can hide/ignore that part of the forum homepage.

He'll be back once, like some of us, he's too old for girls... :wink: Assuming we still have a club then.

I get spell check, though I assume that that has more to do with Google Chrome rather than the site.

I think you can change your computer's location(?) to English UK to solve that.

Any ideas where? I've got everything set to English UK that I can find, including in the Firefox options.

Not an expert but first you could try Contol Panel -> Clock, Language,region -> Change loaction (under region and language). I think this changes Windows programs like Word etc.

Specifically for Firefox I think you have to change the dictionary used for spell checking. You may have to add the English UK dictionary and disable the English
US one.
