Ok, so here is something very strange on found on this site. 

 

I find often I type faster than I should, an quite often I am making mistakes. On every forum site I have been on, my MacBook will either correct any errors or at least underline. 

 

This seems absent from this site, with the exception, for some reason, in a subject line. (I actually tried to misspell something, and it alerted me of the issues, either by underlining error or autocorrected to predictive proper word)

 

I frequent some other sites like redflagdeal, dslreports, etc, but so far this is the only site that I am aware of that seems to have this issue. 

 

Just a thought to see if that can be corrected, if someone hasn't mentioned it already.

@ShawnC13, I think OP is looking for auto spell check.

@ShawnC13 I've never noticed that spell check.  But yeah, @will13am is correct.  Unsure if it's related to the computer somehow or actualy website.  I guess over the past few years, more and more sites and apps correct these on the fly, and this site does too, but only in the subject line. 

 

Not a big deal, I have just never used the backspace button so much in my life!  I must have gotten lazy over the years.

This is a limitation in the Rich Text editor, as spell correction highlighting works correctly when using the HTML editor tab (using Google Chrome on Windows).

 

Nerdy bits (and a fix for the developers, hope I'm not stepping on any toes): From what I can tell using Chrome's Developer Tools, this should be easy for the development team to fix. Specifically, the rich text editor is contained in an iframe with the ID "tinyMceEditor_ifr" and the input box is contained within a body tag with the ID "tinymce" and class definition of "mce-content-body lia-message-editor". There is a spell check attribute in this tag that is set to "false" by default. Changing this attribute to "true" enables the spell check highlighting (see screenshot - I changed the attribute in the inspector to turn it on).
