The Boards Spell Checker Not Working?

[iWilliams]

Hello.

I have just noticed that the boards spell checker capability is not working.

Admins, would you like to know why it's not working, so that you can fix it?

I await your reply...

Hiya

Yes hopefully others will see this thread and post if it doesn't work for them.

It doesn't work for me either, I tried Firefox and Chrome.)

(Thats my excuse for the standard of my writing too! )

I have fed back your reply so will post back as soon as I hear anything

Edit:

Out of interest have you tried other browsers or a mobile device just to see?

[iWilliams]

Hi jumpy.

So, it doesn't work for you either, how interesting...

Hopefully others will see this post and contribute their experiences.

Thanks again!

EDIT: No I haven't tried other browser etc, I only use FF.

No worries, it will be interesting to see if others post.

Can you check Chrome / Explorer just to see?

If it still doesn't work then at least we can feed that back and a solution

may be more ovious

Hi all

It seems to be working fine for me in both FF and Chrome.

Hi Pete.

Thanks for responding Pete, I wonder why it's working for you but not for either myself nor jumpy?

Can you post a screenshot, or is that asking to much?

Thanks...

Hi iWilliams

Here's a screen grab from FF.

It maybe an obvious question but are you remembering to hit the ABC button to switch the function on? The spellchecker doesn't automatically check your spelling as you type, as with some other programs.

Regards,

Pete

Hi @Pete_B and @iWilliams

Just in case it helps,  I have managed to fix the problem I was having in Firefox.

Clicking the ABC button never worked for me so instead I

typed a sentence and then highlighted the text before clicking the ABC button.

Initially the screen greyed out and a popup box appeared showing 'Spellcheck Request error: 0'

and it then reloaded the text box. I tried it again and it works now
