Nick, is the dictionary going to be changed to add to users local drive or is it going to stay as is with dictionary on server?

That's how they're supposed to work. I haven't seen the new one yet but it's on my list of requirements.

Spell check

Here is another thing to know about the current spell checker. When you click "Add to dictionary" it is adding the words to everyone's dictionary. It should have never been doing that and that dictionary is full of garbage. That's why it doesn't trip up on some misspelled words.

Thanks for that information MasterWrench.

I tried Google Chrome when it first came out several years ago. What a Cluster-Fxxx-!! It messed up a whole bunch of things on my computer.
The moniker "NEW and IMPROVED", was merely "NEW" and NOT "improved".

Oh it was "new". lol A new way to gather more of your personal information to use to target your pop up ads and ads that appear on some website, and ads that appear on the search pages. According to our horrible traitor, Mr snowden, the NSA has that and more from google data bases. So in the name of making more advertising bucks they thought it was ok to collect any and all information about you they could.

The trojans and malware make themselves a "part" of Chrome so it can go completely undetected by most virus software.

I wont use google chrome if my life depends on it. Too much personal information can easily be taken. There are now hacks specially designed for the loopholes in google chrome. They have made a sad attempt at a "malicious software" removal tool for google chrome ....

In my Firefox, you just click on one of the suggested words and it replaces it.

Hey Nick Thanks, I Believe it just worked. Those double vowel words I still mess up on ,

[Nick_Taylor]

I use Firefox. If I type something it believes is mi-spelled I see the red squiggly line beneath the suspect word. I right click and see the words that the browser thinks I might be trying to type. It would be nice to be able to just click on the word to automatically insert in place of the typo, instead of retyping the word spelling correctly, LOL.
Actually it would be funny to have a program that intentionally mi-spells words . Select from a half dozen ridiculous ethnic accents , Ebonics , or Hard Core Appalachia.

Nick, I'm not talking about the squiggly lines AT ALL-!

The dictionary never was any good either.

Like I said, they should have gone to another spell check program a long time ago.....

I was responding to Witsend on the squiggly lines.

[Witsend]

End result be a Gothic looking Byzantine Cluster of Hotmail , hyphens, Ebonics, and Arabic to sort through. ROFL

Spell check

I switch my system over to Google Chrome and the spell check improved 1000%....... Just sayin, Eric's

[maven]

I gave up on using, and for the most part, complaining about the spellchecker months ago.

I just click finish once it lets me.(hopefully it hasn't been stuck trying to check the spelling for 30-45 seconds as I stare at a fogged "thinking" screen that I cant exit out of.)

[Nick_Taylor]

Just don't expect a new spell checker soon. Probably won't be until the end of the year.

Also, the red squiggly lines are coming from your browser's spell check, not SureTrack. We have no control over what the browsers do. You may be able to change it in the browser settings.

I think when you get those red squiggly line under the mis-spelled word and you right click over the word and it shows the correct spelling of the word you intended to type, there should be a feature where you left click on the correct spelling and it will automatically remove the misspelled word and install the correctly spelled word without you having to re-type anything. Maybe have a pop up of a little cartoon Adolf Hitler likeness Spelling Nazi Character with a pointer in front of blackboard with word choices to choose from, LOL

Sometimes it finds a word that is in fact misspelled and it will have suggestions to select from

Sometimes it finds words that are correctly spelled but it just doesn't like that word and it had NO suggestions......

Sometimes it finds words that are not correct and also has no suggestions

It's all over the map.... and no Im not talking about the squiggly lines either
it's just been that piss poor from the start and I'm glad to hear that Nick and his guys are going to a different spell check program -!!!!!
Should have done THAT a few years ago.
