Indeed i have IE 11 trish, not got a scooby how to find the spell check though. :confused:

When I type a reply, it underlines misspelled words with a squiggly red line, I right click on the word and it gives me options for the correct spelling. There are sometimes I spell it so bad, it has no idea what to suggest. :facepalm:

Hi Burnie - glad you enjoyed your break! :)

Indded i have IE 11 trish, not got a scooby how to find the spell check though. :confused:
I did a search and all I see is people asking how to disable it in IE11/Windows 8 - odd! Mine has been working ever since the comp engineer upgraded my IE!

On ECF, if I mistype or spell something wrongly and it's a popular/simple word, I sometimes see it correct itself ...like wellies did before I added it.
It looks a lot like the spellchecker in Outlook and Office (may be the same thing). A box pops up giving suggestions as to what the word should be, or there's an option to ignore, and one to add to Windows dictionary.

Not your spelling that's so bad, it's the spellcheck that doesn't know it all! ;) :laugh:

So i should be looking at outlook express to turn it on ?

I honestly don't know! I was told I couldn't have OE when I got W7, so had to start using Outlook.
Took a while, but I got used to it - not sure about the spellcheck though. I'm not sure if I had it with OE or not now!
I'll take a look later :)

Speel chuckers are part of the program that you are using, in my case Google Chrome. To switch it on in Win8 & IE follow these steps, I normally only go as far as step 3 so that it highlights mis-spelt words, also useful for mis-typed such as teh instead of the:

Step 1
Open the "Settings" charm in either the Desktop or Start screen view, and then select the "Change PC Settings" button at the bottom of the charm.

Step 2
Select "General" from the PC Settings menu on the left side of the screen, and then scroll down to the Spelling section.

Step 3
Set the "Highlight Misspelled Words" slider to the "On" position to make Internet Explorer identify misspelled words by placing a red squiggly line underneath them. To correct a misspelled word, place your mouse cursor inside the word, and then press "Shift-F10" to access the correction menu. [right-click normally works as well]

Step 4
Set the "Autocorrect Misspelled Words" slider to the "On" setting to have Internet Explorer automatically correct any misspelled words to their correct counterpart. Note that Internet Explorer will only correct words found in the Windows 8 or 8.1 internal dictionary.

and wellies works fine here without the speel chucker changing it or highlighting it.

FT order arrived today. Stingray X and veritas rda. Haven't tried either yet been busy trying to clean the copper on the inside of the Stingray tube and the threads. I guess this is a disadvantage of a clone haha.

Looks lovely once all screwed together as the copper is spotless on the outside but you see I know it's slightly blackened on the inside, so does anyone have any tips for cleaning a copper mod? I've given it a once over with lemon juice and salt and it shifted a fair bit.

Veritas clone seems reasonably well made. Not up there with some of my other clones but good enough for 9 dollars or whatever it was. Again the outside is spotless just some burrs on the inside of the top cap.

Been experimenting with kayfun builds and wicking lately as well but haven't made any remarkable improvements to flavour. Shall keep trying.

Hope you're all well.

Pass, I only use IE if I really have to, on a site that doesn't work in either GC or Firefox, I just googled to find that answer.
Looks like it worked - Terry has his squiggly lines! :)

I found a shop in Ireland with the Eleaf iStick in stock! £32 All colours, but low on silver. I ordered a blue one and it shipped today - got the tracking and it's on it's way. - Hopefully it arrives OK!
Just checked and they're sold out of blue now! Eleaf iStick Express Kit With Ego Adapter

Wouldn't dream of suggesting such a thing! :laugh:

Brilliant! You can still ignore it if you want to - they don't stay once you preview or post your comments :)

Hi Adam - not sure what you should clean that with, but I clean copper sheet plate with denatured alcohol to completely degrease & clean before using oil paint on them.

Ha-ha, you can drive your new found spellcheck nuts now! :lol:

Yes, someone over at NT got one and said how good it was. They posted a picture of it and it's so tiny ...brilliant! Fixed 2200mah battery with micro USB charging - and nice colours. Let's hope it proves to be a good as my MVP's have been so far!
Looks like everywhere sold out of them as soon as they were released - most are taking pre-orders, and I found the ones in Ireland quite by chance yesterday.

The Kanger iPow 2 is only 1600, so will need charging more often ...and still no stock in the UK, so I'll forget about that one for now.

Brilliant 2200 should easily last you a full day trish, in fact it will, even if you vaped really heavily with it :)
