I no longer get a spell check when I type answers. Is this a change on the site or with my computer?

BTW: this week end was calm! Hooray!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you for all the replies. I think my computer set up has changed. My granddaughter was using it last week to do homework and I think she may have switched something so that the computer browser is more like what she's used to. My cousin, who is our family expert, died yesterday and so I'm hoping my granddaughter and I can eventually turn the spell checker back on. In the meantime, this is OK. Just know I'm not really a great speller. LOL It was the computer making my posts look so good.

BTW this site has been a really great way for me to escape during this difficult time. My cousin had metastisized melanoma. Thank you all for being there.

Maybe your browser? I don't know. I do know, though, that the spell-checker program doesn't seem to reflect words which seem to go beyond a high-school vocabulary and gets stuck on certain conjugations. "Strategize" always seems to get a red line under it on my screen, and I am certain it IS a word! maybe the spell-checker is anti-proactive planning? :)~

I assume it has to do with your browser. I have always used Internet Explorer which does not spell check so you have always been stuck with my typos :-)

check your browser preferences. that is where your spell checking option is, not the individual sites.

I have spell-checking selected on my browser, and get it on this site. If that didn't work, my exhaustive knowledge of computers would be exhausted, and I'd be up you-know-where without a paddle. So good luck!
