It's "boo hoo", and to answer your question, I guess you'll just have to ask them.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Help, I've fallen of topic, and I can't get back.:lol: Maybe we shouldn't say safety Sally anymore, so we don't insult people named Sally. Maybe we shouldn't say, "for example" It's like ammo on "steroids" for fear of glamorizing illegal drug use. When will the madness stop ?

If I may present a counterpoint; this wasn't a spelling error, it was a total error. The poster might have thought rind stones was the correct term. Had the correction not been posted, that poster would keep right on going saying rind stones. Now he knows it's actually rhinestones.
If I posted something like "for all intensive purposes" I would hope someone would come along and say "Hey, you know it's actually 'for all intents and purposes' right?" Yay, I was just informed of something! Information is good! If no one posted a correction for me, I might make a total fool of myself the next time I'm in public, trying to act all smart, and say "intensive purposes."
[The plural of Nazi is Nazis. It's okay to put an 's' next to a vowel, one doesn't have to throw apostrophes everywhere.]

Actually, I did think it was "rind" sorry. I know better now thanks. But to my credit I have only ever had diamonds.:banana: Who would have thought one little word in a reply would get this much attention, and totally of topic to boot.

If people would just take things as education vs personal we would all be better off.

It wouldn't have - if you had simply said what you've just said above rather than responding with "Thanks spelling police. After all that's the point of this forum, right." and other insults later.
If you want to see where the thread drift started, look in the mirror.

Take it easy Pardner, It was all in fun. I meant no harm. It was supposed to be light hearted fun. By the way I did look in the mirror, and I'm getting old. Thanks for suggesting I do that.
Every error shows up on my forum supplied spell check, including "discernable" which is spelled correctly ending with-ible as discernible and was the top suggested word.
When a word is not found in spell check, I look it up in an on-line dictionary and then add it to spell check - works for me.

How did this become a spelling thread? seems WAY off topic.

Or I'll just have the moderator kill the thread, as it's not helping with the OP anymore anyway.
