I absolutely despise spell check. I had it turned off for months now in my posts, by right-clicking in my reply and unchecking the Check Spelling checkbox, but it has come back, so I have to uncheck it on every post. Right now, it's telling me checkbox isn't a word with the squiggly red underline. Yes, it is, spell check. You suck. What's the point of spell check if I have to check your spelling?
Anyone remember how to turn it off permanently? I know I'll get some replies saying spell check is great and you like it, but anyone remember how to kill it for good?

What browser are you using? In Chrome, it's in the right-click menu and is holding for me in new Reply windows.

What browser are you using? Right now I am in Chrome and it is under the Settings, Language and Input Settings. Should be available on in all browser options to globally turn off?

When I post I purposely use words I know spell check knows. For instance, according to this edit window, "smokable" is not a word but "usable" is so I'll use the later. I guess I shouldn't be such a spell check wuse...uh..whoose?... wimp.

Thank you gentlemen. Kind of embarrassing for a tech to miss that. I use a pre-release developer version of Firefox called Nightly, and I was having all kinds of Flash conflicts, and had to make a full Firefox reset. Missed the spell check checkbox when I was trying to restore all my settings. Thanks again. *blushes*
