Spellcheck? Maybe it's just me
« on: June 11, 2012, 12:46:22 PM »
Whenever I miss spell a word I get the line under it, but there are no options for the right word.

Like, now I have to figure out how to spell all the words I don't spell right without the list of correct spellings.

I use the latest Firefox browser.

"When spell-checking is enabled, you can easily correct misspelled words. To correct the misspelled word, right-click on it and select one of the suggested words at the top of the menu. If none of the suggested words is appropriate, you must manually edit it. If you are sure the word is spelled correctly, you can add it to the dictionary. To add a word to the dictionary, right-click on it, and select Add to Dictionary."

on other boards, when there is a red line under a word indicating a misspelled word, you can right click and options for the correct word will appear.
 
on this board, the red line appears, but when you right click, no options appear.
 
at least, that's been my experience with firefox on this board.

yeah, me too. Something in the board script seems to be blocking it - I thought it was my shitty computer

When you misspell a word it looks like this:



There's a squiggly red underline letting you know you spelled it wrong. However right-clicking does this:



There are no alternate options to choose from. Other boards cough up a list of words and even the last pre-dash iteration of A1 had it.

Try it out now. For some reason spell check was disabled - I've enabled it now.
