since yaf has excellent support for the telerik rad editor  ít may be interesting to integrate spell checking.

Here are the steps to implement this to yaf (using rad editor).

I assume that rad editor is already running (telerik.web.ui.dll is in place)

1.) Modify web.config

--in the section add the following line

--for IIS 7 add the following line in the section

2.) Provide the folder for the dictionaries

--a.) create a directory under the forums root called App_Data

--b.) in App_Data create a directory RadSpell

3.) Copy the dictionaries to the new folder App_Data/RadSpell

--these are the TDF-files shipped with the rad controls

---de-DE.tdf, en-EN.tdf, fr-FR.tdf

4.) change the toolsFile.xml in forums_root/editors/radEditor

--the last lines look like this:

...

--change it to

...

5.) OPTIONAL if you want to enable "custom dictionaries" (add to dictionary menu item at spell check) do the following

--grant the web application full access to App_Data/RadSpell (the same you did for the upload directory)

--think a lot about this (especially at public forums) since this means that everyone can set misspelled words to "correct words" (no longer found with spellcheck)
