I use a MacBook with Safari and today my spell check quit working. At least on Canadian Content. As near as I can tell it is activated. Any thoughts? Keep it simple please.

Besides suggesting to use Firefox or Google Chrome.... or to get a PC :p..... When my spellcheck doesn't work or appear, I copy & paste what I post into a word program, spell check there and then re-paste the edited content back into my post.... then post.

You could also try to either update or reinstall Safari to see if that works

I use Firefox on my iMac. I can't see how Safari would affect the spell checker on CC, but that might be beyond my expertise. If you really suspect Safari though, a reinstall might just help. Also, run Disk Utilities (Repair Disk Permissions) and reboot into Safe Boot by holding the Shift key down while starting up. This should repair and defrag System files. Once it is up and running, restart normally. That should speed up your machine too.
