Spellcheck

[Super-Shiny]

Since upgrading from XP too Windows 8.1 i used to with XP when there was a spelling error i got a red squiggle under the spelling error but now with Windows 8.1 i don't.

Any idea as my speling is crap

99% sure it's not a forum thing and it's a Windows 8.1 thing but is there a fix?

Help

I think it must be a Windows 8 thing. I have Windows 7 and we get the red line on it. Sorry it's not much help, which browser are you using?

There is an 'add-on' which you could install, but not sure without installing it myself if it provides the red line business. Search add-ons for "UK English spell checker" - there is an updated English dictionary (or even an Australian one?!?!).

Get yourself a dictionary

Right click in a text box, like the "Quick Reply" one below and make sure "Check Spelling" has a tick by it

This is my right click:

[Adam78]

you just need to add a dictionary then mate click the "Add Dictionaries" button and it will take you to a page with lots of them..

find one called "English (British)"

click "Install Dictionary"

After you've installed it you'll need to click the "Languages" button shown in my pic above and make sure English (UK) is selected
