iSpell trouble?? - cookderosa - 07-29-2009
The spell checker used here iSpell is causing my computer to error/crash every time I run spell check (uhhhh...every post!) which is on my last nerve. I can't seem to find a way to reinstall this- or figure out what's going on . Is this my computer, a forum issue, an iSpell issue or what???
P.S. the other distance learning forum I am on makes causes the same crash when I spell check too.

I'm not sure if you're using Internet Explorer or Firefox, but if you use Firefox (or want to install it), it has a built-in spellcheck function. Sorry I don't know anything specifically about why iSpell would crash your PC. It's most likely something to do with the application rather than the forums though.
Good luck!

I noticed that too. I only tried it once, then I didn't bother anymore. I usually just type my messages on MS Word, then cut and paste to the forum.
Problem solved.

I just want to second the nomination for Firefox with spell check. It's fabulous.

Yep, Google Chrome's got a built in spell checker as well. I love this browser

Holy crap - you guys spell check your posts???
Man, I am a loser. I never spell check mine. I just type 'em out and hope for the best.

LOL, believe me, you want me to spell check my posts. On the "reply to thread" window, there is the "ABC" spell check icon on the right- so do you guys mean you don't have that?? If you click it, what comes up? That iSpell thing was a default, I use IE, but the first time I hit the spell check icon (years back) it installed and that was it. Also, it's used on the nursing forum I'm on too- so I need some help here- I have to either figure out how to reinstall this or take it off as my default speller...so to anyone- what comes up if you hit your icon??
iSpell trouble?? - alissaroot - 07-29-2009
I don't think I have it. None of the little icons say "ABC" and when I held my cursor over all of them none of them say spell check?
I wish I could be of more help...

Ok, I'm here in Firefox. The spell check feature is automatic- it underlines words in red just like a word processor. Sweet. THANKS guys!!
