The section also lets you enable WebBoard’s spell-checking, available to users before they post messages to the conference. The internal WebBoard spell-checker analyzes the message and identifies possible misspellings by making them hyperlinks. When the user clicks on an identified word, WebBoard displays a list of suggested words from which the user can choose. WebBoard administrators, managers, and moderators can add words to the dictionary from this same form. In addition, you can edit the custom dictionary with any text editor. WebBoard’s custom dictionary is stored in \webboard\system\custom.dic, and has one entry per line. The entries do not have to be in alphabetical order, but that does help you find them faster in a long list if you happen to be editing it with a text editor.

To set the conference restrictions, follow these steps:

1. In the Settings section, leave "Automatically verify new posts" checked if you want an unmoderated conference. Selecting this option allows all messages to be immediately posted to the conference without prior verification by a WebBoard administrator, board manager, or conference moderator. If you want a moderated conference where each message is reviewed before it appears to other users in the conference, deselect "Automatically verify new posts."
2. To restrict the conference to specified users, check the Private checkbox.
3. To specify this as a read-only conference, check the “Read only conference” checkbox. Only the WebBoard administrator, board manager, and conference moderators can post to read-only conferences.
4. Check the “Allow spell-checking” checkbox (default setting) to enable the spell-check function in this conference.
