silly question....but..

[joe]

Why doesnt spell check work when I am responding...or asking a question in a post?..It appears to be working fine when I use it in a PM.. Since my "typing" skills... ( my kids would correct me and say "keyboarding'..lol) are pretty much non existant, I tend to get my fingers crossed up and unless I proof-read the whole post, I will miss A LOT errors...having them underlined in red catches my eye...  ;)

.

is there an option I need to turn on?

.

thanks

It works for me...

 

Is anybody else having this issue?

[joe]

let me try again..I will misspel words and see wat happens...hmm...nothing...no spellcheck  :(  i figure its something i checked...or unchecked..when customizing my settings...I will have to look...

Are you using a phone or a computer

[joe]

Im on my PC...I have office 2010  (I am using an older PC)(with my email, the spell check wouldnt work one time when i reformatted my computer and hadnt installed office yet..so Im just throwing that out there..)...the spell check works when I send a private message, but not on posts...you know, this might mean I have to learn to type  :blink: :o

[leahcaR]

Weird. :) hope your typing gets better seems fine to me

[Trish]

I don't even see a spell check on mine..where is it?

 

[joe]

well "T", it should be "automatic"...if you mispell a word, before you post, any mispelling should have a "squiggly" red line under it (to bring it to your attention)..if you left click the under lined word, a list of options appear to correct the mistake...(sometimes its not a mistake..for example  "LOL" will apear as a mispelled word..in that case, just ignore and post the way it is)

.

Clear as mud?..lol

[Trish]

Yep clear...hgas;dlfkjawe;riouaerpotu

 

nope...didn't work   :D

[Trish]

Doesn't work in pms either.  What browswer are you using?  I am in Chrome

[Trish]

Works in IE...not in FF or Chrome...must be something to do with the browser setting we have it on.

[Trish]

Joe I am in Chrome...

 

• I clicked on this reply box and began typing
• Right click in the box
• Click on 'spell-checker options'
• Click on 'Check the spelling of text fields' 

May depend on what browser you are in for specific directions!

[joe]

just got back here "T"...thanks..i will look at my browser settings..I am using FF

[joe]

Hmm. in my FF settings, the "check spelling as i type" is checked and i dont see any other options that may pertain to this....oh well...thanks for trying to help. I guess I need to control my fat fingers a little better so i wont have to rely on that as much..lol

[Trish]

Hmm..if that is checked I'm not quite sure why it wouldn't be working.
