chris_b Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Chaps, I don't seem to be getting spell checking on posts. Has anything changed? Can I put it back on? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I thought spell checking was performed by your browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 I can switch spell check on and off for emails via Firefox but it doesn't seem to activate at all on Basschat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 This spell checker issue was covered in another recent thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/265091-change-bc-spellchecker-to-uk-english/ When I have a misspelled word or something that the dictionary doesn't recognise I get the offending word underlined in red - when I right-click on that word I can see that I've got 'Check Spelling' enabled in the menu plus possible replacement words (or add to dictionary). I'm using Firefox on Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Spellchecking is all controlled at the client end, nowt to do with server settings at this end. I do know that, in the past, there have been a couple of Firefox releases that have been reported as not supporting spellchecking very well, so check to see if there has been an update to your current version. If there hasn't then you might consider rolling back to a previous version for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks for the info. I'm trying to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Spell checking was always switched on as far as I could see. It was working on Talkbass but not on BC, which is why I thought is was a BC problem. Anyway, I switched several instances from US English to UK English and didn't intentionally change anything else and this morning it's all working again! Poxy PC's. I hate them. Thanks for the help.

[/quote] Sounds as if the registry setting had got mangled. Changing to US English would have overwritten the mangled setting and left it in a state to accept UK English afterwards. Well done on figuring it out, I'll add it to my list of 'fixes'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
