QVC Mods, Would It Be Possible To Have a Spell Check Option

smoky22 — Sat, 16 Jan 2016 17:10:32 GMT

When the forum was first reorganized, I saw a few requests for a spell check option and I don't know if it was ever addressed. Would it be possible to give us back the spell check option we used to have?

There is a spell check option. When you type your response. Look to the top and the little box that has a check mark and ABC, this what you use to spell check.

I hope that I have understood your question.

That's right, there is a manual spell check option. If you want an immediate automatic spell check, then you need to add one to your web browser. Chrome has an automatic spell check or you can add the Grammarly extension. Some versions of Internet Explorer have a spell check, but it has to be enabled. You can do a Google search or use IE's help feature to learn how to do that for the version you have. You can also download an extension called ieSpell.

I've been using this option forever. It sure has saved me some embarrassment. I don't like relying on it but it has made me a better speller.

I like to use words that people don't use as often as they used to. However, I don't always know how to spell the word. First I look it up to make sure I'm using it correctly, then I click on the spell check here as a final before I push post.

It's a win win for me!

I didn't know it was here, either...going to try it out now....

So all it does is underline it....but does not correct it...thats what it did for me...I had to go back and spell the words correcly myself...

Am I doing something wrong....

@circles click on your underlined word and some suggestions will pop up. You can then select the correct spelling of the word you were trying to type.

I'm glad my post did help a few other people. Thanks to @icezeus!

MODS: How can I make some of the replys type bigger? Some of them are so small I have to pass over them as I can't read any of it.

@circles

Put your cursor over the misspelled word and click. Then it will give you options to choose from if you so wish.

Sorry for the duplicate post. I replied before noticing that the OP had already answered your question.

@ChynnaBlue thanks for the additional suggestion. I usually use Firefox. In another forum I frequent it does an automatic spell check and I didn't set up anything special. I'll see if I can find more information on it.

@sarpy, The good news is we have the option to choose font size when we post... the bad news is that the default size is really small and (in my opinion) not as easily read as the default on the old forum platform.

You can choose the overall display size by going into your settings. (Look at the left side of most forum pages and you'll see "My Settings" and "Edit My Preferences, or use the drop-down menu under your name at the top right of each page to find "My Settings.")

Under "Preferences," and then "Display," you can choose a "Text Size." (This isn't the same as the text size we choose when typing a post, by the way.) Be sure to click "SAVE" after making changes in your settings. You always can go back and make other changes.

Also, there are browser-specific and device-specific options to zoom in/zoom out or to modify the size of the display. (Usually found under the browser preferences, toolbar "View" options, or device "Accessibility" features.)

hth!

@smoky22, Firefox preferences are set to the default "Check my spelling as I type." (It's under "Preferences," then "Advanced," then choose the "General" tab to see the option.) And most devices have it as a default in their settings or preferences. That's why you see it taking effect sometimes, maybe even most of the time... but it doesn't work on all websites (including this one). I haven't tried any of the Firefox extensions for automatic spellcheck (just my preference, since I already use so many other extensions and sometimes they don't play nicely with each other).

Every device I've ever owned has had spell check built into it. You may have to turn it on.

@dooBdoo Thanks. That explains why the automatic spellcheck works for me almost everywhere else but here. I appreciate your response!
