Oh I see, did you just download it today? I have no idea why it's doing that.

I understand Dennis, it's just one of those misunderstandings that happen from time to time when you're writing to someone instead of actually talking with them face to face. It's cool. I think you're one of the nicest people I've meet at this forum so far. You've always been polite, courteous, and extremely helpful to everyone. Actually, everyone has been absolutely terrific. BTW, you were the first person to respond to my first post here too. hehe.. Thanks for that Tyler

I agree 100% I'm not agitated either. I was just trying to figure out what you were referring to. It seemed as though you were suggesting that the administrators gave people their ratings/status. I was just voicing my opinion too (like you) when I said I didn't think so. Have a nice day

You have to be in a 'writing text box' in order for the 'check spelling' option to be present. If you're just reading a post the only options are as follows: ----- ieSpell Options Lookup on Merriam Webster Lookup on Wikipeda ----- When you're are about to write a message the 'check spelling' option will appear. Edit: I don't have IE Pro, I just have the regular IE7. I have no other browsers.

OH OK, I thought it might be related since opera seems to be the only connection.

Just so you know and there is no misunderstanding, I am using the spell-checker now, here today and it's fine. It's always been fine.

In your case I don't know. I just know that I don't have this problem and I have IE7 with no other browsers on my machine. That's the only difference between me and Hazelnut and you. BTW, there is another person with opera that's having right-click spell checker problems. It seems he can't make it work on this site. It's in the lounge under browser problems.

Oh OK I see I just made the 'Advanced" status.hehe

It's looking more and more like a browser issue. Someone just said they were having trouble using their spell-checker on this forum. They have Opera on there machine too.

Yes, that's right. It works anywhere in any text box, online of course. I just right click and have several options, I can either spell-check one word or the entire document, or Even look up a word on Webster dictionary, all with a right click Edit: I don't usually use the fast reply option, but I have before. Here's the IE spell-checker add-on I use. IE Spell-Checker

Yes I use an IE right click spell-check and it's working fine. Everything is. I've used both ways to respond and both are fine. Edit: No, I don't use any other browsers other than IE7. I only have IE7 on my machine. I wonder if having two browsers on your machine would cause the problem.

I just cleaned the cache and restarted IE and it's still just fine. I think we're messing up this desktop topic with our discussion, let's take it to PM. Sorry everyone for the inconvenience.

That's strange. Do you think it matters if you have 2 browsers on your machine that it might affect it in someway? Hazelnut has opera too and had the same problem as you. She couldn't see my pic of the webtv on the 'Avatar' topic in the lounge, but everyone else could. I've had absolutely no problem viewing everyones pics here. I'm using IE-7 with no other browsers on my machine. Edit No the sites fine, the picture is showing up right now too. It's a browser issue.

It must be frustrating I'm sure. The only problem with your theory that it must be a "forum issue" is that I've never had any of those issues. All works fine. I'm using IE-7. The Regular IE-7 not pro.

No there's nothing wrong with the site it's working fine.

By that are you suggesting that the administrators 'DO' give recognition to the amount of time and effort someone puts into being a member? It sounds like you're suggesting that's how the rankings/Member status are tabulated. If that were true, it would certainly shoot down the 'amount of posts' or how long someone has been a member theory.

If what you say is true, then who is making this "quality" judgment call? Is there some invisible man watching over everything we say? I would have a -0 if that wre the case.lol I actually think it has 'everything' to do with the amount of posts and the amount of time someone has been a member, but that's just my opinion, of course.

Yeah I just read it too. That's too bad..oh well. Thanks for checking into it for me.

Hey, that looks really nice! I've known for awhile that IE was skinable, but this is the first tool I've seen that will do it with such ease. It's too bad the Tweak UI tool doesn't work for IE7. I would've looked at that one first, as I have another Tweak tool that works really nice. This one looks easy enough and should do nicely though, I hope. I want to get some skins before I dive into it. I've seen several IE-skin sites already, but they're just so full of ads and junk, I just don't want to bother with them. I'm hoping to find a good selection and user friendly site. Some places just want to give ya their spyware if you know what I mean.

Hi, this one here. Internet Explorer Skin Manager

I've downloaded a small utility that will change the skins of Internet Explorer with one click. Only problem is now, I need some skins! It came with one BMP format skin, but I want to get several others to choose from. Thanks for any suggestions you can give me. Tyler

Here's Mine

I did read your post in thread, that's how I knew you had IE-7. Your cache in IE-7 might need to be cleaned was my suggestion.

It keep wanting to run active x controls too many times so I left.

I would try switching to IE-7 then clean my cache and cookies with this sQusi then reboot and try again. There's really no logical reason that it shouldn't work unless there are more serious problems.
