    Default Help needed (by critical spellers)

    My MRBS Config wizard is almost done, just have some streamlining/processing to work on.

    But as some of you may have noticed my spelling/grammer leaves alot to be disired... so if your pulse rate quickens everytime you see a misspelling, Help me out!

    address is MRBS Config Wizard - Local Hosting Project

    Need spelling help with the stuff in the question information icon (hover over to see), also if any of you guys can come up with a better info description or a suggestion please post.

    Full Credit will be given on the index to anyone from the EduGeek Community (unless you don't want it to be)

    Small one: Possessive apostrophes are missing e.g. "Administrator's name" + "Your company's name" etc

    Also no need for capitalisation of company.

    Default suggestions

    You need a full stop and capital letter instead of the comma between 20 hours to make, if you appreciate etc..

    Took over 20 hours to make. If you appreciate etc...
    Likewise you should put a full stop and then capital letter between
    structure mrbs requires, for more help

    instead of the comma.

    If you really really want to be perfect, you should also have a comma between service and please. You should also have comma (or colon!) between wizard and click here.

    I would also myself change level that you can use this wizard to level where you can use this wizard.

    Make sure MRBS is in capitals all the way through - it is in lower case once.

    About the Wizard and Requirements

    This wizard was designed by John Moss, a school IT Technician from Leicestershire, England. It was designed during my spare time and took over 20 hours to make.
    If you appreciate this service, please donate! Any donation is worthwhile and helps drive development of other projects forward.

    This Wizard assumes you have already installed the basic database structure MRBS requires.

    email set up 3:
    Admin's email - needs apostrophe where I put it.
    set up 7 of 7
    I am pretty sure it should be pagInation unless there is another use I don't know of.
    And on the final section:
    config wizard: finished
    full stop/capital letter as below:
    contents of your config.inc file.
    Simply copy/paste this into the config.inc

    And in the small print...
    it should say held not help
    and wizard's should have an apostrophe as I did just then

    Thanks for all your help guys, wonder why someone hasn't invented a code editor capable of detecting spelling/grammer outside of the actual code...

    Also I've decided to keep apostrophes out of the actual fields as it can make the field column a little messy.

    Basic Questions
    I'd consider changing this to Basic Options.

    Advance Questions
    Advanced Options perhaps?

    Little nit picky - but on the first page you refer to it as "The wizard" and "The Wizard" - one with and one without a capital W.

    Apostrify on page 3 "Email Room Admin's on Booking" not needed.

    Page 5 - says Advanced Questions - not following the previous format.

    Missing full stop on the final process.php page.
