I thought I would try seeing what the editing mode tab would trigger, but no spell checker there either!! Now my screen for replying has a cast on the toolbar and it doesn't look at all right!! Ok, now to try the edit function!!! Got the cast off my screen (had to rehit the editing mode button)!! Got my smileys back!!!
YEAH, things are getting better!!!!!
PS: I use an older Dell desktop with XP and don't have the spell check on the forun, but I also get the red underline on what the computer thinks are misspelled words!! Same thing --Pete, some choices on alternative spellings come up in a box!!!
