MB Spelling

I just have a quick question. When I type a message and misspell a word, it is underlined in red. Is there an auto correct method like right click for suggestions, or do I just keep trying new ways to spell the word until it is correct and the line disappears ? Thanks.

Good question. I am not aware of an actual spell checker/corrector that works on this website. I'm thinking it's actually your browser software that's "telling" you you've got spelling or grammatical errors.

Pretty sure anyway since I never actually see those squiggly lines here....J/K!!

What browser are you using? Firefox has a spell checker and underlines incorrect words, and you should be able to just right click on the word for suggestions, not sure about other browsers.

Google chrome also has this feature, very handy! I wasn't aware firefox did though, maybe I have an old version.

Yes, Firefox 3 and 4 will do spellcheck.

Ya. Thanks guys, it's my browser that is doing the spell check. Good old Firefox. And right clicking does provide suggestions. Lol. Could have answered my own question by right clicking. Thanks again for all the responses.

A plethora but IE-whatever is the easiest one to defeat which is why most people use firefox, no idea what all the screaming about chrome is about.
