I use Firefox . When you spell a word wrong, it will underline it in red .
Spell-check is a feature of Firefox, not the forum.

Safari will autocorrect or underline if it has no idea what you're trying to say. Autocorrect is great most of the time.

Yea, spellcheck is built into the reply box, can it be disabled? Although I suppose possibly the browser takes over there. So it could depend on your browser? I use IE 11.

Ditto with Chrome.

Between chrome, predictive text and voice dictation I can usually get it.
Using a tablet.

OK, guys -
I have Chrome, FWIW.
I was not getting the red underline for misspelled words. But, I just did a right click, and I guess by doing that, I enabled spellcheck.
Now I'm going to rummage around a bit more to see about click-to-sub the correct word.
Thanks

Autocorrect is my new worst enema.

:D :eek: I hate the autocorrect! I find that I need to very carefully read my posts (or e-mails or whatever) as the auto will choose a word closer to the misspelling than to my intent and I often end up with very bad results. I prefer spell checks that simply highlight and ALLOW ME to correct rather than assuming. We all know what assume means!
But to Kent's question I think the spell check will be in your browser and not come from the forum.
Ha Ha - Dave's post above (written while I replied ) is a perfect case making my point. :D

Judson - pick any post and go to reply. Type some words that are reasonably close to those used by Packers fans. Then hover around that and right click. Spell-checker options. Make sure the English button is clicked [assuming that's close enough to what youse guys talk] and the Check Spelling option is checked. IIRC - they were already that way when I peeked, but just peeking made it work. Just like those galaxy-remote subatomic particles, where the mere act of looking at one makes the other change.
It looks like we may have to do this with each post - not sure - got sidetracked in my research.

^---THAT is the funniest thing I've read in a long time!
Really though if SMC had a spell check it would screen out words like *****, *********, ****, ***** and the ever popular ************! Would make life for the mods easier.

My life has changed for the better. I get the red underlines and I can right click on the offender to get the suggested spelling.
Ima buy me a beer to celebrate.
Thanks, all
