If you misspell a URL on vizzed, there's a good chance that the site will now correct your spelling and take you to the page that you intended to go to.

For example, this:
https://www.vizzed.com/bords

Will redirect you to this:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/

If you use improper case, the site will also correct that.

For example, this:
https://www.vizzed.com/BOARDS/

Will redirect you to this:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/

This is all done using CheckSpelling within the .htaccess file using apache's mod_speling. This use to be enabled on vizzed many years ago on a previous server I was using but this current server didn't support it which was a bummer. I recently had Hostgator enable it for me. This should actually help increase site traffic since some URLs throughout the internet point to wrong or misspelled URLs and some search engines like Google have indexed those URLs.

This is a great feature. Small, but will hopefully really help with navigation (especially for newer members).

I'm glad hostgator was able to add it for you!

Wow, that's really awesome, David! It's a small change, but sometimes I do misspell the URL's sometimes. I'm not sure how commonly used it will be. But the fact this is a feature is really cool!

Also, I can confirm that bards, boars, loards, and bokrds all lead to the boards page.

I wonder what the character limit on this thing is.

Sweet! It's nice you were able to get this feature, it's so annoying when you just mess up one symbol and google doesn't recognize it. 
I hope that there will be more site traffic like you said

mrfe : It was a small update but I personally think it'll have a big impact. Not necessarily for current traffic but for potential future traffic.

A user of this : It's smarter than I thought lol.

That's so cool. It may not seem like much, but I believe this will make many more users likely to stay on vizzed. They might forget how to spell a URL they want to check out, then they can get redirected to it.

Great job reviving this feature

PacmanandMariofan : The biggest impact from this will be a slight increase in my search engine rank. Like I mentioned, a lot of URLs to vizzed around the internet are of misspelled URLs.

Good! Now, I won't get the 404 when I put /board.

Also, the site overloaded last night.
