    The spellchecker now checks your spelling as you type instead of having the button to click on.

    It is still there. Whenever you misspell a word, a bubble that looks like it is talking, on the right hand side next to the answer space box, will say Oops! Looks like you have ? misspellings, then under it will say Use Spell Checker, once you click on it, then you need to scroll down and it will give you a list of the correct spelling for the word, then choose one and click Change. But if it doesn't appear, it might be because there's a glitch or because you spell perfectly.

    Gosh it sucks with no spell check and now I have to use small words instead of being able to sound like I had a huge degree. Hope these little words are spelled right. Yahoo fix this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Personally, I don't like this version of spellchecker. It annoys the hell out of me because it is distracting. Try typing in texting. Not a word, apparently, but we all have used it or heard it. It's not like gangsta. Gangsta doesn't get a reaction from spellchecker. How idiotic.

    Use Fire Fox for a browser. Any misspellings are underlined in red. And when you see a word underlined in red, you right click (for windows) or you control click (for Mac) and select the correct spelling :o)

  • oh it only pops up when u spell something wrong if it does pop up then congrats u are a good speller.
