Has spellcheck been removed from the preview/post page? I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

The company that offered it is now charging for it. I'm working on a replacement, but don't know when it will be ready.

Beta testing the spellcheck hack:

Ok, to enable spellchecker, go to your profile and check the box in preferences. The result is when you preview your post, potential misspellings will be underlined in red.

Important note: using spellcheck will *greatly* slow the speed of your posts (30-45 second wait).

If this affects server performance too much, I'll have to remove it or put in a much more simplified dictionary. Currently it handles words up to 11 characters long.
