Nope, a Dell. The sticker shock has kept me from buying an Apple, but with all the issues I have had, I am dropping the cash for one next time.

and to add to rockytopper, the first time I saw "ask the boss" I thought it was going to be a place to email LUSK, a forum was the last thing I was expecting

None of my systems do. It would be a nice touch even if just an option.

Maybe i am spoiled by outlook at work where you just click on the spelling tab and walah! I know some other forums i go to have a spelling tab in the "quick reply" section.

I have spell check on my HP with Vista.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Guys I believe the spell checking is more of a function of the browser that you are using than the computer or the forum software. I use Mozilla Firefox as a browser and have added in a spell check feature. This helps to keep spelling errors to a minimum. Mozilla Firefox (with the added spell checker) underlines misspelled words as you type them.

That is what I use, so I guess it is Firefox that gives the added spell checker...

All I know is I thought I was a fairly good speller until I started using a computer. Then I found out I suck at spelling.  Darn English language has so many inconsistent words and rules! Hey here's an option i would like to see: How about being able to post an avatar for each post by pulling it from your browser? I do this on all the other forums I go to.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I mentioned previously about having a spelling checker put in during the forum modification to help with the spelling issues but have not seen one as of yet. Maybe its comming?

Spellcheck is not a feature available on this software version, sorry. JHAP and CJ are right, it's more of a browser function.
What I can say is if this feature becomes available I make everyone aware. And, while I understand the value of spellcheck, I can promise NO ONE judges any posts with grammar or spelling issues - it's all good!

What about being able to post an Avatar?

Bob is putting some thought into how he wants this to look...I anticipate this launching within the next couple weeks.

How about the ability to post poles... Another forum I go to which is based on the same software as this forum has the ability to post poles and allowing other members to vote on things you are curious about. It can be very interesting.

As a budding pondologist, I have taken measured steps to create the fish facet. I could only do it correctly with the guidance of the Pond Boss core moderator team. For this facet, Pond Boss was invaluable and I am grateful. I have many more facets to hone, though. They all exist above the waterline in the form of wildlife habitat, flora, and human habitat. Guidance regarding these facets is poorly represented within Pond Boss. Yes, Dan VanS does a great job with his articles, but I find most are larger in scope and don't relate directly to small time pond perimeter development. Yes, we see an occassional article about wood duck housing or similar, but nothing consistent and expanded in a larger category of wildlife habitat development.
Nice job with the article in the May/June '10 mag, Dan VanS....decimated the critique.

TJ,
Did you find an answer to the problem of have to scroll back and forth when reading. It' like a large picture was posting. Maybe it's just a setting on my end but it sure is a pain in the rear.
Thanks

Thanks for letting me know, Cisco. I've escalated this issue on numerous occasions to UBB - the company that engineered the software, and they keep claiming to have addressed the issue. I will do this again, right now.
Can you verify your browser version for me? I think we've narrowed it down to IE 7 - if you are using something else we've got more browsers for them to address. Please let me know ASAP - and thanks for your patience. Lord knows this has been a frustration for me too.
TJ

I just upgraded to IE8 TJ. not sure why but i did. I had the same problem on IE7 also. It didn't do it before all the upgrades to the site unless someone had post a large picture. Great job on all of the modifications to site!!!
You are appreciated!

Adding the "Recent Posts" and "Newly Uploaded Images" features on the right sidebar has increased the width of the page and has caused some users with smaller monitors to need to scroll in order to view the entire website. We are going to attempt to make the post area more narrow in order to fit the entire page even for small monitors, thus ensuring everyone is happy. Will address tonight.

Thanks TJ. I can actually change my screen resolution and see the whole page. I just can't SEE the whole page. It has something to do with the eyeballs getting old.
