Firefox Users: Spell Checkers Don't Work In Boardroom?

[Captain Colonial]

Any other Firefox users out there who have a spell checker extension that works everywhere else bar in here?

I'm on Firefox 9.0.1 with the Britsh English Dictionary 1.19.1 extension, which works on every site I post in, yet in here it doesn't work at all, misspelled words are not underlined. I've tried several spell check extensions, all the same thing. Any ideas? Most odd and localised!

you would have though that being a member that would work for you

[Captain Colonial]

Right, who can I blame?!?!

Have you tried using a dictionary

[Captain Colonial]

Yes, but I can't get a good grip on the huge ones that have a stain-proof cover so the blood doesn't stick to it when you're beating a smart to death with it.

Yep, Firefox 9.0.1 with the Britsh English Dictionary 1.19.1 works fine for me.

You've not got "check spelling" turned off in the right click menu have you?

[Captain Colonial]

Weird - nope, Check Spelling is ticked in my menu, but it's not working. Must be something localised I'll have to live with. Thanks for checking!

[Captain Colonial]

Cracked it - Check Spelling was ticked, but in Languages just below that, English / United Kingdom was there as the only choice but with no dot next to it - once I selected it, spell checker is working again. Funny thing was, it was working on the thread title box if you were starting a new thread!

Ah well, time to abuse a few icons while I'm on the PC

That's odd, you need it really when correcting the Rabbit. ;) :laugh:

True - he also needs some capitalisation!

Sorry to sound thick but how do you do it.......

With in Firefox, I went to Tools - Options - Content - Languages - Choose

In there is "English (en)" and "English/United Kingdom (en/gb)"

Is that right or am I checking the wrong place with Firefox??
