I think this has been mentioned before, but I can't find the post - the automatic spell-checker (which highlighted possible errors while typing) seems to have been removed since the last Khorus update - why?
I appreciate there is still the manual option - IF you expand the toolbar - but not everyone will know this.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

...but even then, a right click doesn't offer likely corrections, as in the Firefox browser or MS Word.
On most sites, the Firefox checker woks fine, so why not here?

@198kHz I intentionally mis-spelt words in my OP, and did get the correct spelling, but as you say, most sites work fine with the FF dictionary, auto-highlighting errors, as did this site prior to the 'update'

I was wondering why I didn't, but I do now - never thought to try a left click. D'oh! 🙄

I suspect that it is all conencted with the hash-up Lithium have made with the embedded TinyMCE editor with @JonoH has been trying to get them to fix for a while now. TinyMCE can be configured to use the browser spell checker - I suspect it is turned off.
For the so called "best in the industry" they have made a right hash of the user interface.

@Townman Thanks for that information - I'd forgotten about that foul-up.
It can't be that hard to turn back on, surely - it was working just prior to the latest 'update'.

"Grammarly" is a good option on Windows.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't need it - the spell-checker is still there, just slightly 'hidden' and not automatic as it was before the last 'upgrade' to the core functions of the forum.

Oooh I see the manual spell checker has returned .. let's see if it works.
It does, I did prefer the original UI though before it was removed. At least it only underlines words which have already been checked by it.
Doesn't seem a bad idea, and better than nothing. Also you can the red underlining off if you click the spelling icon again which I like as the red underlining as you type really gets on my nerves.
First post since using it, but impressed so far.

Well, I wish someone would tweak it - my spelling is not bad, but as I'm not a touch typist, if I type a long post I sometimes 'mistype' and miss errors on a quick proof-read.

Okey dokey @HarryB - I think it's working, but I'll reserve judgement until I can check later with a longer post.
