Hey, is there a way to tell the forum's context menu to go away? I'm on a mac, which means I get spell checking in my browser (and believe me, I use it ALL the time, lol). However, the  widget that is being used in the forums now overrides that with a pretty silly one: Copy, Paste, cut. Why would you need those menu options from javascript...ever? Doesn't EVERY browser do those for you with either a context menu provided by the OS or by the normal menu and keyboard short cuts? That seems like a big waste. Maybe you could manage my bookmarks there too:P Add a widget to control my ipod?

Plus, since you provide one, my spell check is gone...I still see the squiggles, but I can't let it fix them for me:(

Just a minor annoyance. Whomever you got the widget from needs to take a minute and think about what they are doing. No need to reinvent stuff in a slow language that is already provided by the OS.

You're not alone. I'm having the same issue on a PC with Firefox. My spell checker appears to be disabled and replaced with the Copy/Paste option when right clicking on a word thats being labeled as misspelled.

Kinda sucks.  :(

it's been commented on before. the 'fck' editor does not support functions properly... been like this since it was first implemented round here...I don't think it's going to be fixed anytime soon :(

For FF, you need to uncheck the advanced JavaScript setting "Disable or replace context menus" to stop the FCK editor substituting it's own menu.

ooh but what effect does that have on other sites?

No idea, but how many sites do you visit that need to take over the context menu ?
It's possible you could fine grain the setting per site (if you can divine the correct permission name), but there's no GUI for doing so.

Thank you for telling us about this. I am an avid FF user and was having the same problem here as well.
