Anthony, Spell check is kind of wonky.

[PMK]

I am a horrible speller.

In the past you clicked the word and a red box with choices appeared.

When I do this now, the red box appears and immediately goes away. It does this each time I select a misspelled word.

Testing

Spageti

This time it immediately flashed and read no replacements found, then vanished. The flash is maybe 1/4 of a second.

Would be way cool if it pointed out misspelled words as opposed to me needing to click them and check. If possible.

When I need to make sure something I type is correct, I put it in a Word document first. I then do a spelling check there and once corrected, copy and paste it here. I know that seems like a lot of work, but it's more efficient than clicking on one word at a time.

I only click the words I suspect may be wrong, not every word. No plans to make posts in Word then copy and paste. I only do that for for EBay ads.

Im sorry, vbulletin has never had a spell check, that comes from your browser.

I will see how other similar sites are acting regarding spelling mistakes that I click on and report back.

Is that donate thing for real?

Anthony, I did the same Spagetti test on another site I frequently visit.

They use XEN Foro software.

Not debating that this sites software does not have a spell check, I believe you, however the other site, simply click the word you question, and a shaded red box hovers above the word you question / clicked on. There the box with suggested replacements, what happens here now, is the red box appears in an instant and then disappears. This happens in under 1 second.

I run Firefox. Do you still suspect this to be a Firefox issue?

[MENTION=14677]PMK[/MENTION] are you on a phone or desktop?

Currently, IPad, I can retry the same test on a windows based laptop later today

 

[AnthonyG]

I dont have an ipad anymore to test with, but definitely could be an issue with ipad & not FF itself.

Does it work properly if you go to the full editor by click "Go Advanced" @PMK

Went to Go Advanced, still happens there too.

Noticed something else, unrelated, the cursor positions prior to quotes not after / under quotes which I believe it did previously.

If i quote you, the cursor goes under the quoted text as it should.

Spagetti

Testing with FF on desktop, right click of the word brings up a drop menu with spaghetti in the list, works as it should.

Laptop fired up, will check on there as you did. Laptop runs FF also. Will report back.

 

[AnthonyG]

Chk your PM

 

[PMK]

Laptop underscores with the wavy red line, making it a no brainer it is spelled wrong.

Accomplishing next test you asked about.

 

[PMK]

PM’d test was the same with instant flash with correct Spaghetti spelling then gone.

 

[PMK]

Just odd, maybe it is a VB / Apple type problem.

As a self admitted bad speller, I can shrug off any spellcheck cops on here...

Do not waste the time on it, likely one of those things VB will resolve at some point.

 

[AnthonyG]

No, Vb wont resolve it, this is the LAST version of vb 4 & its been EOL for a year now.

Chk your PM

 

[PMK]

Thanks for going the extra effort in resolving this. Sometimes, as we know, it is beyond what is capable at this level. No big deal, gives me a reason to spell words better...

 

[AnthonyG]

No pb Paul, it was nice talking to you this morning, thanks for the input as well.
