Spelling...

On the Forum Index page, it says "Community Discussion Forum - Info Center"... Would it be possible to use British English spelling please?

As it's part of the SMF forum software which these forums run off, I'm not sure this can be changed, however I'm sure one of those clever chaps/chapesses in the Web Portal Team can find a hack to change it.

Find a hack? tut tut tut, we cannot support such action
You're right though, they probably could.

It should be a simple change to the language file...

It's only a question of swapping 2 text characters... I'm sure the technology must exist...

You'd have thought that... but not being a fan of SMF I suspect it's a lot harder.

Any progress on either issue?
The spelling is still wrong on the front page & I see the spear chucker still reports 'centre' as incorrect.
(It's not very keen on 'chucker' either.)

You can now choose to set your language to 'British English' and it will use that. Also set it as default.

I was already set to British English, but I'm beginning to think it may be Firefox, not the forum, that's responsible.
ooops.

See you've sneaked a quick change in to the front page though.
