The spelling cow is dumb.
It takes extra time to load, makes the page interactivity slower, and is totally redundant for people who use FireFox 2.0, which has a spelling checker built right in.
Furthermore, since FireFox's spelling checker is active on every single webpage where I type stuff in, its dictionary already knows words that spelling cow things are mistakes (like, for example, FireFox, or LSR, or Burridge)
And I am not going to spend my time teaching a cow what the FireFox already knows.
Please, kill the cow, or at least make this a cow-optional community.
Thank you.
Can't you just uncheck the box?

Where is this cow? I don't see it on the board. I usually just go to word and do a spellcheck there and then come back on here and type the word. How do you spellcheck with firefox or whatever then?
Kill the cow, that is a funny topic heading! :laughing6:
You don't see a cow at the bottom of the post form?
By the way Denis....
Don't have a cow, maaaaan! (http://buttercup.spellingcow.com/spell/images/cow_25px.gif)

Most of the time I just use the quick reply. No Cow!

Oh yeah, duh! I don't know how I could've missed that! So I guess I just click an udder, huh? :laughing9:
OK, ok, at least unchecking the box makes the cow go away.
Folks, just go download Firefox 2.0. Trust me.

Careful! If you keep prodding for puns, word will get round and bells will start ringing! We'll be rounded up, corralled, headed straight for the slaughter!
This thread might become prime rib, yet.

OK, I downloaded Firefox and have been playing with it for about a week. I find it interesting, but, not a lot different from IE. One problem is....say... when I am on this forum and I click on a link, I can't back out of it and return to the page I was on. The back arrow is unlit! I have to hit the red X and a box comes up telling me I will be closing two tabs, but, giving me no options except cancel, which, is no option. I click and it goes back to desktop!
Sounds like the browser is opening the link in a separate tab. Look below the main toolbar and you will see a row of tabs... instead of having just one main window you now have multiple tabs. It's useful because you can follow links and branch out from a main page and then immediately return just by closing the tab. There should be an X at the left edge of the tab allowing you to close it.
Tabs?
Top Row: File,edit, view,history, bookmarks, tool, help
Next row: Back arrow, forward arrow,refresh symbol,stop loading symbol, little building, Sage symbol, address bar, google
Third row: Getting started, latest headlines
If your back arrow isn't lit, you've opened in a new tab. Look below the URL box: you should see two tabs that look like the tabs on file folders. Each will have a small "circle x" icon; you can click that and close that tab. Then you'll be back at your original, untouched, window.
When you get the "you are about to close two tabs" warning, it's telling you exactly what you're doing: closing the front tab (that you've been reading), and the original tab. Just close the tab, not the browser.
If you have a scrolling mouse, you can "wheel click" links, and they will open in a new tab behind the current tabs. It's very handy. That's how I read forums and news sites. I "wheel click", and the new tabs open in back, so I'm still looking at the main page. When I've opened everything, I close the front tab, which takes me to the first item; close that, and you'll have the next item, etc.

Got it! Thank you both
Yep, looks like this.

now Lloyd has moved into the world of tabbed browsing.
I also agree that the cow thing is stupid, though I've just unchecked the box.
Yeah, I'd rather have the built-in spell check anyway. :)
