SOH-CM-2024
For the last few weeks, I have noticed that the spell checker isn't working for me. I know of nothing I did to turn it off, nor do I see haw to turn it on. Since, this is the only forum (within SOH) I currently post in, I am posting this here. Tom, feel free to move it if it is in the wrong location.
 
Haven't been able to duplicate so far. Is it the same across all browsers?
 
Okay, it is MS EDGE. I am on Chrome and the spell checker is working. If only MSFS issues were so easy to solve.

Thanks PRB,
 
Interesting. Spell checker works for me in Edge. Are you using the old Edge or the new Chrome based Edge?
 
In the search bar next to the start button search for typing
All the spelling, autocorrect and other such settings should be in there.

Chrome has its own built in spell checker so wont be affected by this but I would assume that Edge will.

I don't mind occasional OT posts, especially when it sort-of has to do with the forum...

In Edge, click the three-dot menu icon in the top-right, then go to Settings. At the top of the left bar, search for spell to get to those settings. Hope that helps...

Hi John
I meant on the main desktop but I didn't realise you was running Win11. The instructions where for Win10 so I have no idea if its the same or not. Also I've never used Edge, I use Chrome with Google logged in for most stuff or Firefox with Duck Duck Go for stuff I don't want in my search history :)

Anyway it sounds like Tom may have pointed you in the right direction.

Thanks Tom. I checked and technically it is turned on. I will just compose in Word, if need be. Or use a different browser.
 
Spell check is a fucntion of the browser and not a forummm function.

Those words were misspelled on purpose to see if it worked. It does for me. I am on Windows 10 and I tested in Edge Version 96.0.1054.29 (Official build) (64-bit).

It is running an update now so lets see what happens with the newest version.
