Suggestion: Spell Checker ON by Default when Writing/Replying to Thread

[Cheetah24]

Hi everyone, 

I noticed that when writing a reply or posting a new question on our forum the system does not spell check automatically. We have to click on the spell checking icon on the toolbar. If it's not too much trouble I would like to suggest auto spell checking so that most users don't have to manually do that. 

Thank you 🙂

Thanks for posting!  I was wondering about a spell check.  I am new to PM and made a few posts that definitely have some spelling errors.  It would be nice to have to completed automatically but not a necessity!

my chrome browser has built in spell checker, but this forum does not allow it to be enabled, better scripting is required.

With us being such a multi-cultural country I am not sure the spell check would help.  With English being a second or third language for some people their posts on here are hard to follow but we do get to their needs and are able to help them.  With an autocorrect or spell check it may change the intent of the post so much that the OP also can't even recognize it as the question they have asked.

We deal with the errors and do our best to help everyone.

Given so many other things that is more critical that remains broken in virtual perpetuity, I would call this a "first world problem".

Hi Suds,

If you're using Chrome or Firefox, you can download add-ons to help with that. I'm not sure if naming specific ones is permitted, but a quick Google search will show you some popular ones.

Good luck,

Maybe it's just me, but I actually prefer not to use spellcheckers or any autocorrect functions on any of my devices when I'm writing anything shorter than an essay.  If that means I have to take a bit longer to double check my work, I'm okay with that.
