Mac system wide spell check in new forums

Welles Goodrich wrote: In the Mac OS there is a system wide spell check which operates in any text based applications. I'm accustomed to seeing mis-spellings underlined in a line of red dots. A right click offers correction options. Simple and effective. In these new forums this option is replaced by options which only relate to the forum, Insert Link, Insert Image etc. I'm sure this makes sense for multimedia use and ease of formatting posts but for simple text communication it seems a step backwards.

You can go back and forth between the RTF and HTML formats. Sometimes I go to the HTML side once I'm done composing my post where it shows spelling errors underlined. Not the answer you want, I know, but the best there is right now, and not horribly unreasonable. Otherwise the spell check button works reasonably well also.

Actually, since I almost never have used it, don't know when they added the language options to the spell check button. So I can bring out the extra u's and tell it I'm British?!? Hmmm...
