Typos

[Mike1]

KCW, if I recall, there is a spell-check hack that can be added to vB.

The Webbie has this forum set up to pretty rapidly time out inactive users. For those that are not touch-typists (such as myself), the suggestion to use Word, or something similar, can have two advantages. You can type your post without the fear of trying to submit it after a time-out (can you tell it's happened to me? ) and you can spell-check the text before pasting it into the text editor on here.

How long is the timeout setting? It seems to me that I sometimes take forever putting together a post, trying to proof read it and then posting. So far I haven't had anything time out.

15 minutes.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, Jerry. I somehow over-looked your question.

No problem, Mike, fifteen minutes is a long time. Some here, could write a short story in that length of time. At my worst, I might take 5 minutes to type up a post and try to proof read it. You'll also see on my posts, that I do a lot of editing. This is because I read the post after I submit it and see a problem. Then I use "edit" to correct it

15 minutes can be a long time, but I've usually got at least two browsers up and running (sometimes 3 or 4) and I will get side-tracked and get dropped as a result. People with ADD shouldn't have more than one browser available at any time. ;-)

LOL. My niece has ADD and is hyper too.I've personally seen her with SIX browsers up and running. I always smile when I think of her being online.Fortunately she's able to control it without any drugs.:smile:

It's funny, I flat-line when I try to do chat rooms or instant messaging with more than one person. Other than that, I can do fairly well.

My son is ADHD, too. He used meds for a few years, but we managed to wean him off them. I've never used meds at all. After this many years, I think I can pretty much deal with it on my own.
