What happened to SpellCheck?

Post #1

Post by Question Everything »

Is SpellCheck no longer working for some reason? Nothing happens when I try to use it and it always worked before.

Seems to be working for me in IE and FF. What are you seeing? What browser are you using?

I'm using IE, and what was happening was that I would click the SpellCheck button and it would act like it was pressed but no window would pop up.

For some reason it is working now.
