I didn't know about right clicking on the red squiggly line either - but honestly, since most of my typos are fat-finger or dyslexia related it's easier & faster to just backspace and fix it without taking my hands off the keyboard.

Was the "Spelling" button working for you?
It was, but it seemed to have gotten a bit slower just before it disappeared.

Is there someplace that shows what's available inside the forum editor? For example, is it possibly to post a bulleted list? For that matter, is it possible to post any sort of list without having to have a blank line between each list item?
<p>Is it still happening? It might be something in the content of your post. Or just try logging out and back in and see if that helps.</p>
I just tried posting 3 times to the Open Forum > Obituaries topic and it didn't post and threw no error. Weird.
owcangrace - "Multiple good constructive posts and of course a whiner shows up."
Who was that aimed at? I block a few and have been blocked by a few, so can't always tell for sure who/what someone is responding to.
Multiple good constructive posts and of course a whiner shows up..
One oddity that I've noticed is that the OP of a topic isn't automatically subscribed to that topic. I've just noticed that yet again on the topic I created about The Wall. Is this a bug?
God forbid SLS actually update it's code. I mean it only looks like it's been 30 years. Might be good for another 30 as long as someone, somewhere is running Netscape on a P100 processor.
Wayne - don't forget to mention to the developers that the same paragraph spacing happens in profile text.
If it's any help, it appears that the first paragraph is displayed using a different font than subsequent paragraphs.

<p>Also note that my editor has its own issues. Sometimes it drops spaces between words. I had a space between "<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:14px">because" and "inevitably" in the post below and it dropped it.</span></p>

<p>Either way would require the code to be updated. I doubt they would give the members a full editor because inevitably someone would write all their posts in 72 point bold font or make every character of a paragraph a different color.</p>
<p>I checked into it further. Your retruns (CRLF) are being stored, they just are not being displayed properly (between paragraph 1 and 2) because HTML generally strips out whitespace and the markup doesn't appear to be correct. I just created a ticket for the developers.</p>
Is there anything that I can set (i.e. forum editor) that would make it so that I don't need 3 blank lines between the 1st and 2nd paragraph to acheive one blank line in the actual post?
Wayne, I know you commented on this a while ago and said you use a different editor. If so, is that publically available?
