Spell check

[Judy]

I just tried the one here (the ABC) and it worked fine.

I could see, greyed out, functions for it, so there must be a way to add breeds. Let me look into it.

Starting sometime yesterday the site spell check stopped working for me. This is what I get for every word.

It is working, just being difficult.

I haven't tried using the BYC spell check. I'm still using iespell, by right clicking.

The Spell check option in the Reply Editor is a little slow to load/check for me (especially on long posts), but the spell check in Chrome and Firefox both do work fine for me when I hold down the Ctrl key and then right click (makes sure you right click!) on each of the underlined words one at a time. (And I can correct typos as I go easily... which is good because I typo a lot, lol). At first it was kind of awkward to use the Ctrl key every time, but after I used it a few times it seemed a little more natural. (This may mess me up on other sites for a while, but I'll get over it lol).

Also for those that are having right click copy/paste problems, remember you can still use the key combos Ctrl + C to Copy, Ctrl + V to Paste . Ctrl + V has helped a lot of people bypass the issues that stop them from being able to paste text, links and images. Doesn't fix it for everyone, but you might give it a try if you are having issues.

The fixes for the clipboard not working correctly:


Internet explorer:
go to internet options
choose the security tab and then choose custom level
find and enable "allow programatic clipboard access"

Firefox users:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/allowclipboard-helper/

-or-

In the firefox address bar, type in: "about:config"
(no quotes), and hit enter.

In the "filter" box you now see, type in the word
"signed", and you should only have one result coming
up. It's set to DISABLED. Double-click it, and it
should change to ENABLED. Close the window. From then
on, firefox will warn you when a website tries to
access your clipboard, and you can tell it to "always
allow this site...."

I'm a little slow sometimes.... but I didn't even know the old BYC had a spell check.
I was just thinking how GLAD I am that the new one does. It seems to be working fine for me.

Hmmm...

Weird! I have Firefox, and "ctrl + right click" is working for me just fine... IDK.

I'm on Firefox and it too works for me.

Yeah...it "works" just not with one click like it used to! I am going to try some of the links suggested and see it I can get the "easy" check to work! Thanks guys...this computer stuff, give me chickens any day! Terri O

Agree it isn't as easy as it used to be--using Chrome. While it will underline misspelled words it takes a couple of clicks to correct them. Easier to finish your post then use the "ABC" spell check above.

Well, It didnt help the spell check but thank GOD it helped the copy/paste feature! Thanks! Terri O
