It’s only on this site that it doesn’t work… and only when I post. It works when I use PM.
Works on everything else I use, email, facebook etc. I’d love it to work on here as I so often have to change what I’m trying to write as I can’t think of the correct spelling (in fact I recently forgot how to spell the word MUCH…lol…)
I’ve got Windows 7 and use Google Chrome and I’ve checked the bit at the top (looks like a wrench) and the spell check is on and set for UK English.
I know what you mean, it’s so annnoying that I have to keep putting words onto a word document to make sure they are spelt correctly, I do wish there was spell check on here.

As my spelling and typing is so crap I have to do my answers in Word and cut and paste here - a bore!

Spell-checkers are usually individual to each program. Some you can switch between UK and US spelling (but some are stuck with the latter). Writing in Word, and then doing a copy-and-paste is tedious, but it works. Of course, if all you want to do is send a quick reply, then it might be too tedious (it usually is for me, anyway).
It seems to be an uncorrected glitch by the people who were contracted to implement the software for the boards. There is no reason for the spell check not to work, this software DOES support it but it was badly done and thus we have this problem.
For any long or complicated posts I do it in Word first as well.
And a preview button would help… we used to have one but it disappeared.
