Lost My Spellchecker

[emmie]

for reasons unknown i have lost the spellchecker on here, if that makes some sense, no matter what i type the little underline no longer appears when you make a mistake

[emmie]

i am not the greatest typist so really need to get this useful tool back.

AB doesn't have a spellchecker but your web browser probably does.

So we need to know which browser you're using.

[emmie]

firefox.

Go to the hambuger (the three lines) at the top right of your screen and click
select options and click
On the left go to advanced - click
At the top of that page there are some tabs - select general
Tick the box that says check your spelling as you type

[Buenchico]

Click the 'hamburger'. (Three lines, top right-hand corner)

Click 'Add-ons'

Click 'Extensions' (if it's not already pre-selected)

Type 'British English' in the search box and press 'Enter'

Click 'Install' alongside 'British English Dictionary'

Come to an AB post, type some garbage in the box and press 'Enter'.

If it's underlined in red then you need to do nothing else.

If it isn't, right-click in the box and select Languages > English (United Kingdom)

It shouldn't. I clear my Firefox history automatically every time I close my browser.
