anweid Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 While writing my latest topic (and this one, too), the topic editor nearly drove me crazy, because it apparently does an extremely bad spell checking, complaining about nearly every word with different types of red curly underlines (see attachments). I haven't found any possibility to switch this off. Months ago, such excessive marking did not happen. Please revert to the old nice behaviour – the new one makes it really hard to read through my own post. Thanks. Andreas Weidner Quote
walt.farrell Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 As far as I know the forum does no spellchecking at all. Any that is happening should be the result of your web browser or OS settings or a browser extension. Certainly none happens for me using Chrome on Android, nor Firefox on Windows. What OS and browser do you use, and have you made any changes lately? Have you tried a different browser?

anweid Posted November 5, 2023 Author Posted November 5, 2023 Aaaah – wonderful! Several months ago, I switched from Firefox to Vivaldi (because several sites did not properly work with Firefox anymore), and this turned out to be the culprit. I does provide a spell checker, which was set to 'German' (and therefore complaining about my English texts), and which can nicely be switched off. Thanks for the tip!
