angeljt Posted February 19, 2006 #26 Share Posted February 19, 2006 You know what? There is no ABC (that I can see) on my "Reply To Thread" box. Or, if there is, please tell me where to look? What is the X'd out A/A? Also, My favorite Title is: Has Anyone Ever Stayed In Room 1111? I always want to post: "No, You are the First". SailAways, I think it might be a MAC issue. I don't have the ABC box either. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KroozNut Posted February 19, 2006 #27 Share Posted February 19, 2006 SailAways, I think it might be a MAC issue. I don't have the ABC box either. :( I don't think it's solely a MAC issue, because it doesn't work on my PC either.. Is there anybody out there that IS able to use CC's spell check feature...besides Cecilia, of course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldosPepper Posted February 19, 2006 #28 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I don't think it's solely a MAC issue, because it doesn't work on my PC either.. Is there anybody out there that IS able to use CC's spell check feature...besides Cecilia, of course.. Yes - ME! And lots of others. It would be a good idea for you to follow Cecelia's advice above, and pay a visit to the "Help Forums" on these boards. I'm nearly certain you'll find the answer to your problem there.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I can use the "Edit" feature on the eMac, and do all of the spell checking very easily, so I personally do not need it. It is curious why others have different icons on their computers - such as ABC, etc. I have visited the "Help Forum" and it was no help at all for me.

SheilaNC Posted February 19, 2006 #30 Share Posted February 19, 2006 OK, I've tried everything recommended on ALL threads discussing this issue and still no ABC function. I have emailed community@cruisecritic.com about the problem and will post when an answer is received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldosPepper Posted February 19, 2006 #31 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I just did a bit of searching, and came up with a possible reason why many of you are not able to utilize the SpellCheck feature - it works only with InternetExplorer! ~~ If you are using something other than IE, your spellchecker will not work. ;) I located this interesting and helpful tidbit, along with MANY others, in this thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=240705&page=2 Hopefully those of you having various issues will take the time to visit that thread and discover the answers to some of your questions. There's also the Help forum, where you can post questions and have nice folks from all over the world offer their guidance and assistance! ;) Happy surfing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had found that explanation - then I wouldn't have taken up so much time on this board :( Am I misunderstanding you, or are you saying that after two years, and 4,100+ posts, you're mad that you've spent that much time here after learning that your spellcheck won't work because it's only supported by IE? :confused: Or are you saying that you've spent too much time on this thread?

SheilaNC Posted February 20, 2006 #39 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hmmm, when I switched to IE (which I don't like and will only use if I really need the spell check) the very small ABC icon was there in the righthand corner.

SailAways Posted February 20, 2006 #42 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Has a "Formated Title" suggestion every been given any consideration by the powers to be?

mbisson Posted February 22, 2006 #43 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Just wondering if there are any rules about titles that have nothing to do with the post? I'm refering to those that might be titled something along the lines of "Sex on the Jewel" and then state something like "now that I have your attention, I was wondering how the food is in the main dining rooms?" When someone resorts to that type of thing I normally won't respond even if I know the answer and could be of help. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CMLA Posted February 22, 2006 Author #44 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Krooznut...I asked the administrator and she said it's a Mac issue and not a CC issue because the spellchecker isn't built into our software. What's happening is the software "reaches out" to a third-party. It should work pretty well with IE and other Window browsers.[QUOTE]Has a "Formated Title" suggestion every been given any consideration by the powers to be?

There was one a while back like this that I left alone but it is frustrating and of no use to members looking for real information. A thread title should convey to every member what you're asking.

CruisesOnMyMind Posted February 26, 2006 #45 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Before anyone can use SpellChecker you must first download the free software which adds the abc checker to your tool bar in IE. The url to download it is at: [url]http://www.iespell.com/download.php[/url] Waldospeppers link was what clued me in to what needed to be done.

Eh, we all do it sometimes. I do have to laugh (again) though as this thread is supposed to be about titles and now it is all about spellchecking.

German Posted March 4, 2006 #50 Share Posted March 4, 2006 [COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Hey,[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]An easy way to spell check is to have Word open, type whatever; run the spell check and then copy and paste. Outlook at work has the spell check, but I found out using it a home through the internet does not, so typing it in Word first has been a saver. Did the same for posting here before.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Wait, didn't run this by Word first.
