mawd_luva Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 alot of people start guides on pmg but not finish. A way to save progress would be helpful as well as "spell check" button. you can add the "save progress" button next to "submit" and "preview".

Kiara_Kat Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I don't get it. A PMG should be completely finished and ready for posting BEFORE it's posted to the site. You should be typing your guide into a word processor or on Notepad before posting it to the forums. Remember, the SEARCH button is your friend. Use it!

Kaphias Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 As for spell check, your browser should have it built in. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 As for spell check, your browser should have it built in. I have no idea what browser you use, but Firefox doesn't have auto spell check and I don't believe IE does either. Infact, this is the first I've ever heard of a browser having spell check.

Scars Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Firefox does have a built in spell checker. I think you need version 2.0+ for it. If you have version 2.0+ then: Tools - Options - Advanced - General, under that there is Browsing & a box for:check my spelling as I type. Thanks to WithTheQuickness for the sig!

Another reason to use Safari. :roll: 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcty Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 As Kiara said, first type it up a Word Processor that has spell check. To preview your guide periodically, click the "New Topic" button, put your guide in the post box, but put nothing in the title. That way, you can preview it, and in case you accidentally hit "Submit", it won't post the topic because it doesn't have a title. :D ~Rcty Rcty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have version 2.0+ then: Tools - Options - Advanced - General, under that there is Browsing & a box for:check my spelling as I type. So you're right, mine's checked aswell and I've never seen it in action. I guess I either don't make any typos or it just doesn't work... I'm going to go with the not working part.

tripsis Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I agree 100% with Kiara. If you're making a guide, you should spend a couple hours researching and writing it. Therefore, it would make the most sense to type it up on a word document, so you can constantly be saving it. Your word document should have a spellchecker, and if not, I don't know why you'd use that program anyway. Then once it's complete, you can post it in the PMG section, at which point there should be no need for a built-in spellchecker. And I use Safari, which checks my spelling as I type anyway (similar to Microsoft Word). - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yes, Kiara is 100% right. You should type it in a Word Processing program before posting it. I have Firefox and it checks my spelling as I type. Firefox 2.0.0.9 I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
