Program is A+++ dont get me wrong. This is only a preference but it is very annoying (especially here) to be required to check the spelling of your posts. Takes forever to post -_- make it optional?

Anyway we can get a feature on the admin control panel to set the default behavior to NOT auto check? even if we disable autocheck in the text file spell-gw.php, it still pops up a window... and completely disables auto check. I ahev some users that would LIKE to use auto check, but many more that dont want ANY pop-up at all, and it is a pain to tell them to change THEIR profiles.

In version 1.6 there is a MOD included in the lite_version_and_addons folder called spellingcow_auto_off.txt. It will set the auto checker to be off by default, so only people that elect to turn it on will have it Wink

I already installed spellingcow with easymod. And my users are complaining about it auto checking. Is there a way to make it so the default is to not auto check?

I used Easymod to install Spelling Cow 1.6.0 on my phpBB V=2.0.16. I would rather not have the spell checker open each time a person wants to post.

I understand that Spelling Cow Lite offers this options as I have read above.

My question is, can I now use Easymod to install Spelling Cow lite and will I then have the option of changing the default through admin, or, is it still an individuals profile that must be changed?

I installed the spelling cow along with easymod and it works just fine, but like others are saying people on my forums say it is annoying. I have looked under the smilies option in the profile and there is NO option to turn this off. What is the best way to uninstall it? I tried selecting the uninstall option in easymod but it will not uninstall.. I want this off or gone any help would be appreciated!

ALTER TABLE phpbb_users MODIFY user_autospell TINYINT( 1 ) DEFAULT '0' ;

UPDATE `phpbb_users` SET user_autospell=0 WHERE 1 ;

Two simply SQL queries included in the MOD to turn off spell checking by default. Just use phpMyAdmin, another database utility, or use EasyMod to install the spellingcow_auto_off mod which comes with the lite versions.
