Well Tom the site is going to be amazing ! But I have one suggestion,( keep in mind that I have no major knowledge of the way a website works and how to add stuff and the like) do you think we could add like a spell checker to the post thing? You see I am have been using a spell check on my pc (My pc is horrible and is only good for microsoft word...) to edit my posts and it is working but It is kind of annoying turning on my slow pc and spell checking almost everything I post...so if it is possible to add a spell checker to our post bar it would be greatly appreciated.

I guess this is where I would post this but......



How much time until completion( rough estimate is fine)?

King I think the elder stats is nearing completion so I would guess in 2 to 3 weeks...

Firefox is a internet browser that has a built in spell checker, and is a very popular browser. I would use that. That's what I use, and so does Tom. I think it's the best browser out there. You can download it here.

Yeah, like WolfGang said, it is nearing completion. Tom and I got a lot done over this passed weekend.

For this forum software, there are no spell check modifications. This means that, to add a spell checker to the forum, I would have to develop something for it myself. I would recommend downloading Firefox and using it as your web browser, like Xavier said before. Firefox has a nice built-in spell check system with good word suggestions for misspelled words, and that will be of use to you on every website for spell checking the content you post.

From past experiences, I am reluctant to promise release dates to people for anything because, being a developer, I have come to understand that one can never know how long it will truly take to complete something. Even though I'm developing on a good pace, you never know when a random bug with the system will show up, and you never know how much time is going to be needed to complete certain aspects of the website. However, since you are asking for a "rough estimate," I will give you one. First of all, let me say that the website will not be released publicly anytime before December 12th - that I can guarantee. However, that does not mean that the website will be completed by that date, it just will not be released before that date, even if it is completed before then. As Xavier mentioned before, a lot of work was completed on The Elder Stats website this past weekend. However, my schedule for this coming weekend is filled with events (I won't even have access to a computer from Friday night to Saturday night), and I cannot see me making much, if any, progress on The Elder Stats website during that time. I will work on it when I have the time during this week, but I only really have time to work on The Elder Stats during the weekends. I pretty much think that the website will be done before New Year's, but I can't really say much more than that. Thank you for expressing your interest, though.
