My only 'suggestion' would be that sometimes when new features get added, major bugs/usability issues often take months if not years to solve. I can certainly understand not being able to add in features or fix every bug that everyone wants, but if a new feature is added, it would be nice if it was at least poslished over so that notihng big stands out that is wrong with it.

For example, since pretty much day one, searching in Hulu and Youtube videos causes a balnk screen issue, and makes this feature unusable for me as well as several other users:

Same sort of thing when Tremote was added. I don't know if the glitches were worked out, but for at least the first few months after palying around with it, I gave up because it just crashed too much, or there were other usablity issues that made it almost unusable at least for what it was supposed to be, that making it easier to control your music, and in reality there were too many limitation or hoops to go through to make it work. I haven't really checked it much since then, so I'll have to give it a try sometime, but I don't think I have seen too many changes in the beta builds on it.

Again, this is really my only suggestion, as everything else about this board and MC's development is truly fantastic, or else I wouldn't have stuck around for 5+ years!

Can we add a spellcheck to the forum?

Just switch to Opera 10.

I actually thought that a spell checker was added to the forum features while I was having a trip to Italy, but soon ~~released~~ realized that it was a new Opera feature. The version 10 became available while I was away and I upgraded before accessing Interact.

EDIT

A spell checker doesn't always help...

Firefox has a spellchecker too.

OIC. We should have pity on those who can't seem to spell—they must be IE users!

The Mac has system wide spell checking. Get with the times people! Geez.

I use the Firefox spell checker. Otherwise I would be too embarrassed to post anything.

That mite knot be true. Sometimes, words can be spelled correctly butt knot used in the rite con text and their 4 the miss steaks go unnoticed.

People, okay. I mean really. How many times do people need to post the blatantly erroneous post. I've seen that several times on the next in the past few days.

rick.ca · « **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:20:51 pm »

Maybe we could use a grammar checker as well.

glynor · « **Reply #12 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:45:21 pm »

I just thought it was hysterical that someone would post a complaint about misspellings, and actually misspell, "spelling" in the subject line.

Classic stuff here.

Ahh... I thought the post was edited. Wondered why it was in the subject line.

JimH · « **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:08:21 pm »

I didn't touch the post. It was an act of dog.

glynor · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2009, 06:16:42 pm »
