I have had a couple of people ask why there is no spell check so I am wondering how many are not seeing it. After you post you are sent to the preview page where your post is spelling checked against a 400K list of words and possible spelling errors are highlighted in yellow.
If you do not see it, please tell us what browser version you are using. For windows users you click Help in your browser menu, then "About Internet Explorer" [or Firefox] and you will get a version number. For example:

Hi Lowell:
When I post I see no spell check, only the words "Preview: New Message" (using Internet Explorer 7). Thanks. |

The latest Firefox version shows the spell check. And I also have the Firefox spell check plugin that gives me a choice of possible spellings. |

I have it. It's in the second box, not the first, meaning that after you click the Preview/Post Message, when you get the Post Message button, you should see the spell check above that |

I used to have it. Don't know where it went, but it took my back button with it. Don't know when it happened. I'm using Mozilla Firefox. When I need the back button now I have to click on History to get it - or use Alt + left arrow key.
Spell check will underline the misspelled words as I'm typing - but won't yellow highlight them like it used to. |

Thought I'd try posting through my AOL - I don't even get the misspelled words underlined with AOL and no yellow highlighting either.
Oh, and my AOL back button is fine! Just in case anyone is concerned... |

I'll also add that prior to rebooting DYes used to hold my username and password so long as I didn't close my browser. It no longer does that either, so I have to enter my username and p/w each time I post. |

When I first became a poster there was spellcheck. It disappeared a few weeks ago. Now I write my text on a Word document and let the spellcheck take care of things. Then I Copy and Paste into this box.
I've got Internet Explorer 6.0. Yeah, I know it's old but it's state-of-the-art for me. |

Sorry, I have no answer to this yet. I am experimenting new forum software but, as you might imagine, this will be a huge endeavor. Turkeycall's solution is a good one. I often do that too, on longer posts, for the grammar checking. |

IE 7.0.5730.11 usually. No spell check.
It might help if someone can determine exactly when it disappeared.
I'd like to hear more about the new forum software if it's not too much trouble.

I'm not seeing the yellow characters in Firefox 3.0.5 either. There are no color codes in the source.
The underlining of spelling errors mentioned above is a feature of Firefox. |

I have Firefox 3.0.5 and the spell highlights in the preview work fine. I'm thinking it's a Microsoft toggle setting on the individual computers.

quote:thinking it's a Microsoft toggle setting on the individual computers. Or a combination of factors. It's odd that it affected so many at the same time.
Spell check is a nice feature but not essential.
When entering a lot of text on an unfamiliar website, I've learned to compose it locally like Turkeycall recommended. Too many times I've had to redo it all because of a sloppy design on the server end. Better to just copy&paste it. |

Sometimes I'll spell check on Google with a copy and paste. (Do you mean ?)
I had a neighbor do a format on my computer because of a virus. He went into regedit, and deleted things he thought I didn't need, (prefetch etc). I still have problems that pop up years later on my media center PC. He has too much ego to correct it. |
