The Editor.....I mean Wood Barter s editor that allows us all to have conversations
Amongst each other

How do I turn off the spell checker????

It seems every mistake I make when creating a thread.....becomes an adventure.

For example.....if I want to use a word and I misspell it (which I seem to do as I get finger

See up above ..in the last sentence I.....want to say. Fat finger.......
..the editor will not let me insert the word fat......it inserts get......then if I wish to backspace
To fix a misspelled word...ssomssomrtssomssomrtimssomssomrtssomssomrtimrd
I may get what you see above
I know not all editors function with ALL devices......

I use a Kindle......
I know not if my device is the cause of this

Or if this editor is a very old and possibly needs changes and upgrades.I
I know that statement will probably ruffle feathers



Consequently . It takes me about 3x as long to input a thread or conversation
I
I am not wishing to knock or complain about this software......or stir up unneeded problems
And I am probably just needing a bit more time to get use to Wood Barter software....

I am very new( just a few months) .A member.....and I love wood barter.
But this.....my problem is not going away
Does this make any sense to anybody else or am I crazyccceeexxxzeeer

The spell check is probably on what your using (which I believe you said a kindle), and not with WB. But what do I know!

I don't believe our software has spell check. I think Eric is right, you need to disable it on your Kindle.

Swipe down from the top of the home page.
hit the setting function. (looks like a gear.)
scroll down to the "personal" section. click on keyboard & language
scroll down to current keyboard settings
turn em all off....suggestions...off
gesture...off
auto caps...off...or leave that one on. Up to you.
auto correction...off----that's the one that needs to canned!
spell checking....off
