for some reason this forum stops my spell check from working

i'm on windows7 and run firefox and use their spell check as one of their add ons


every other forum i use under lines my miss spelt words in red and i can go back and find the word i want after a right click, but it doesn't happen on here

i have had a computer nerd mate take a look just incase it's something i have done and he thinks it's something to do with the forum

anyone else have this problem or use a spell check on the forum ?

I use google chrome and the spell check works fine for me, I'll try my Firefox when I get to work.

Have you considered it might just be your spelling is flawless Bungle?

I think the forum has a built in spell check since the upgrade, but it's American - color, see!

Maybe it confuses your browser if it has one too?

I'm lysdexic so don't understand the spell check anyway but mine works fine on chrome. have you tried to remove the spell check for this site from your browser and see if the built in forum one works with Firefox. I would check but hate Firefox so don't use it.

My spell check on my phone works but sometimes ads extra words. Or it may be my big thumbs and this oversensitive keyboard.
