    Spellcheck

    I've noticed that spellcheck(?) has disappeared in the new message frame. I use to get a red underline under any pooly spelt word. Not any more.



    Do I need to 'click' somewhere?

    Did you change or upgrade any of your browsers lately? Spell check is always on in the firefox that I use.

    Recently went from FireFox 2.0 to 3.0...could be the reason? They have a "Check Spelling" icon in the tool bar, but this isn't automatically activated like the forums previous underlining method.

    I'm not sure, really. I have always used the Firefox built in spell checker.

    You'll have to activate Firefox' dictionary
    The red underline is from Firefox, not from the forum.

    Yep. Just right click in the reply box and make sure the "check this field" is ticked and you will get it back.

    I knew harmony was only a click away, thanks Gnomey!

    Clicking right I didn't find "check this field" but there was "Add Dictionaries". This takes you to Firefox Add-ons, and it's restored when this is downloaded.
