Nude photo's? Yeah, because that makes sense. I can see the behind the scenes conversations now: "Honey, take this nude photo of me" "Why?" "So I can post it on a serial killer messageboard at the request of a non-registered user who seems to think it will level the playing field" ".......I think we need to have one of _those_ talks"
That'll go over like a fart in church man :P

Hi Stephen
Is there any way to add a spellcheck feature to the message posting toolbar for those of us who can't spell on our own.
Hi Jason
Well Said. Your post puts a lot of things in perspective.
All The Best

Stephen, a couple more to add to the wish list.
Is there a way that the Search function could be refined to add the options of "Search the message boards only" or "Casebook data files only" or "Both"? Set the Default as Both, then under Advanced have the optional search criteria.
Another thought crossed my mind while attempting to rescan and filter the stains on the MJK table. It would be nice to have a list of subject matter experts posted somewhere, i.e., photo enhancement tecniques: Joan; Investigative Techniques: Bob Hinton, Monty and others. With such a list, we all could learn from them plus have someone to go to for technical questions regarding their area of expertise.
Just some random thoughts while scanning documents for OCR.
Best of wishes,
Billy

Hi Gary, et al. -
Yeah, the only reason I posted was because for some reason, I felt that we needed a little perspective

Spellchecking is now on. You'll have to enable it for your account under edit profile.

The engine is far from perfect - and I still need to add British spellings to it.

Stephen,
Is that spellchecking or shellpecking? We saw lots of shellpeckers down Saybrook, near Catherine Hepburn's, holding a clam with their feet and banging away. Bit of a shellpecker herself, the old girl.

Good news - I've added some word lists to the spell check and it now recognizes both "spelt" and "dyslexic", and should be a bit more accurate now.

Just FYI - I've made some fairly major script changes on the boards recently. So far, everything seems to be working as expected, but if you notice any possible problems/errors please email me at forum@casebook.org. Thanks!

Stephen,
Excellent with the spell checking function, especially for those of us who don't have English as a native language. Thank you for that. It works perfectly so far. A great improvement.
A very good suggestion indeed, Gary.
All the best

G'day,
Here's a suggestion. What does everyone else think? Let's tidy up the suspects boards by seperating all the most talked about suspects, from the not.
Do we want to put:
GENERAL DISCUSSION,
PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR,
JOSEPH BARNETT,
WILLIAM HENRY BURY,
DAVID COHEN,
THOMAS CUTBUSH,
MONEGUE DRUITT,
GEORGE HUTCHINSON,
JAMES KELLY,
AARON KOSMINSKI,
JAMES MAYBRICK,
FRANCIS TUMBLETY,
on a completely different section to the others, and put the others under 'OTHER SUSPECTS'?
Any others?

Seems fair enough, I think, Leanne.
Just something to ponder on; I am not quite well read on every suspect yet, but can Willam Henry Bury and James Kelly be regarded as such? Do they really belong to the most common or most talked about ones?
The others I think is OK. I hate to put this up, since I hate both of the theories like the plague, but wouldn't The Royal Conspiracy and Walter Sickert belong there? Especially since the Royal Conspiracy seem to be so popular among the public? Well I don't know... just some questions that came to mind.
All the best

G'day Glenn,
I just thought of that idea when I woke up this morning, so my mind was still warming up! 
I quickly checked the message boards and included the ones that seemed to have enough posts. Then I thought there'd probably be someone who wanted another name included. Then I thought I'd leave it up to Stephen to determine. At least people will get the idea I'm suggesting.
People often want certain suspects 'surgically removed', and I understand Stephen's reasons for keeping those names there....sort of like 'Freedom of speech', 'Freedom of opinion'.
What names do you think should be listed? A shorter list would be tidier!

G'day Glenn,
If 'The Royal Conspiracy' one is kept, and the 'Walter Sickert' one, we would still get newcomers posts to debate with!

G'day Leanne,
Indeed, I understand what you mean; I am a night person myself -- my head is like a soft grapefruit in the mornings.
Anyhow, I think your initiative here is a splendid one. And as you say, it is in the end up to Stephen to choose.
Just to make sure I don't misinterpret you, what did you mean with "If 'The Royal Conspiracy' one is kept, and the 'Walter Sickert' one, we would still get newcomers posts to debate with!" Is that good or bad? I have no idea myself; I you mean the latter, I somehow think we would get that whatever suspects we put up on the main list. Due to annoying language difficulties I don't always grasp the full meaning of what everybody here is saying, so bare with me if I didn't get it.
Anyway, my choices would be:
GENERAL DISCUSSION,
PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR,
JOSEPH BARNETT,
DAVID COHEN,
MONTAGUE DRUITT,
GEORGE HUTCHINSON,
AARON KOSMINSKI,
JAMES MAYBRICK,
FRANCIS TUMBLETY
THE ROYAL CONSPIRACY
WALTER SICKERT
The others, I believe, could be put under
OTHER SUSPECTS
This is naturally not based on any of my personal views on certain suspects, just the ones I think is most well-known and debated. I could be wrong, however; I am not sure about Cutbush regarding this and -- as I said -- I've never noticed Bury myself. But it could be that those are more valid than I think they are. I would also like to point out, that my inclusion of Cohen (even though you had him put up as well) is based on his relevance in connection with the Polish Jew theory, not because my contribution of him to the Suspect page. My list above is totally objective (otherwise a whole lot of them wouldn't be there...).
Anyone else got any suggestions?
All the best

Blimey, Leanne!
You are not far from being promoted "Assistant Commissioner"... Does this mean I can come to you if Robert denies me more money for my department? If I promise to support the Barnett theory?

G'day Glenn,
Well, I'm not sure if you can have two 'Assistant Commissioners'. We might all be worthy of 'Assisant Commissioner' one day. I might have to wait until the other one retires. I'm not too worried about that, 'Cheif Inspector' is still an honour!
Wolf might have something to say if 'Thomas Cutbush' is not up there. 'Walter Sickert' and 'The Royal Conspiracy' is just to keep newcomers happy. People still come here for the first time and want to know why they aren't favoured.
Those who ask if someone can be "surgically removed", can then ask if they can be moved to the other list.

Hi Leanne
I will happily demote myself to workhouse pauper, second class and leave you as sole Assistant Commissioner IF you will agree to lay off Poor Old Joe.
I'm safe there, Glenn. She'll never agree to that.
