How to get spell check working?
#11
i knew all along that if one of us was crazy ... it wasn't you. LOL
i logged in through MS Internet Explorer using one of my Secret Squirrel test accounts. I also see the little green check icon. I do not recall ever seeing it before. That doesn't mean it wasn't there all along. it just means that either it's something new, or I simply overlooked it.
I then logged in using Safari; again using Google Chrome. No little green check.
either a recent Windows/IExp update has added that "lovely" little option to lure users into downloading the ieSpell add-in, or it's been there all along. the "ie" indicates to me that it's associated somehow to IExp. how or why is anybody's guess. since i didn't see it in any of the other browsers, it must also be exclusive to IExp.
since it clearly does not work and play well with your computer the only advice i can offer is to never click that little green check again - ever.
this is just a guess ... i'm not sure i'm on the right track because you said you were using Google and Yahoo. I don't have a clue how either of those factors in. i don't go anywhere near Yahoo and i only use google to search for things.
still hoping that somebody else who is familiar with it will come along and be able to help you. in the meantime ... little green check ... bad ... very baaaaaad. LOL

My spelling is always correct- my typing on the other hand.... Sometimes my fingers can't read the keys

Spell check has nothing to do with the site. I use the iPad and you can turn it off and on under preferences.

I believe it has something to do with your computer operating software. I use Windows 7 and it doesn't like the built in spell check. If I'm really concerned about my spelling, I'll open Word and copy and paste my message and use its spell check. Needless to say, I don't do that often enuf.
