What happened to spell check on the forums?

Why is it that whenever I spell something incorrectly, I am no longer corrected? There use to be a spell check on these forums, where'd it go?

I still see it (the red squiggly line under the misspelled word). What browser are you using?

I am using Firefox, too. Mozilla just recently updated Firefox, so see if updating it helps if you haven't yet.

I've noticed it too only at my home PC. I'm running an older version of Firefox on this machine. Maybe we just need to update?

The spell-check is not a function or feature of the forums, it is from your browser.
You likely just need to update your browser.

There is no spell check on the boards, either use the one built into Firefox or the plugin for IE.

Also, check the Advanced tab when you click on Firefox->Options. Make sure the "Check my spelling" box is checked.

I have that on, and my Firefox is up to date I believe. Apparently it stopped auto-updating. I've updated my Firefox, still no spell check.

*Yaaaaan*

This Firefox Problem again?

Right-click postbox where you typed in, make sure "Check Spelling" is enabled. Then go to "Language" in the right-click menu and make sure that the English Dictionary is selected.

I just updated my Firefox and it still does not work for me. Strange, it works on my work PC running Ubuntu 10 and a not-so-up-to-date version of Firefox.

Okay, thanks that fixed it. The dictionary wasn't selected.

Bethesda has put their trust in our grammar and spelling education?

Just kidding, I still have the squigglies. In fact I have a squiggly under squigglies.

Oddly enough, it just started working again after a very long time of not working. I cn nw msipell corrtly, thanksyu. :smile: I'm guessing it's because I've updated Firefox and it needed some time to kick-in.

My spell suggestions work for you.

Also, you can add fun words like that to the dictionary by right-clicking the squiggled word. Squiggled is a real word, too.
