Request for changes to forum options
Legendary helpful member
Having now had a few months on this forum, I'd like to ask that you consider the following suggestions:
Many Spanish words have an accent on a vowel. On the other forum, on a PC, all I need to do is hold down Alt Gr and vowel to put an accent on the vowel. I can't do that on this forum. I'm left with the option of ignoring the accent, which annoys me, doing a copy and paste job, or trying to remember the ASCII numbers for accented vowels. Please consider enabling Alt Gr + vowel to add an accent.
I still think that the search facility should have the clear, and first, option to do a global search of all areas in the forum. Many members post topics outside the sub-forum in which they should be posted, and many topics have a global application, i.e. they aren't limited to a specific geographical area. The easiest way of course would be to remove the requirement to 'Enter your location', or include 'all areas' as an option.
Whilst preparing a post, the spell-checker doesn't ignore words starting with a capital letter. That means that it will nearly always show up a proper name etc as possibly incorrect. Is it possible to set the spell-checker to ignore words starting with a capital letter?
In a similar vein, is it possible to make the spell-checker bi-lingual - i.e. to stop it throwing up Spanish words as incorrect?
