Someone PM'd me a few weeks ago and asked me to add a few words to the dictionary. Unfortunately, I'm not able to just add them quite that easily, however I was able to enable the learning feature, meaning that when you use the spellchecker and you see a word like 'opiophile' spelled as wrong, you can now click 'Learn' and the word will be saved into a global site dictionary. This means that if you click 'Learn' on any word, it will learn this word for everyone, and not just yourself (so please be on your best behaviour when deciding as to whether or not the word 'Funty' is an ok addition for the group.)

Soon to come with our new forum upgrade will be the use of spellchecking via Firefox add-on, called Spellbound. Our new forum upgrade will also support the use of IESpell, another great spellchecker which allows for each and every member to have their own dictionaries on their local machine.

Great suggestion, btw, mystery member - apologies that I accidentally deleted your request. Sorry to have taken so long in getting it done.
