I think the spell checker has changed to US from UK. On TAS or ProBoards ? Is this something we can have set on the site ? If not I'd like help how to spell propperlee !  |

I think your spell checker is in the browser you use Mike.

Spell checker is indeed a part of your browser. I have just installed the English/GB pack for Firefox, prompted by this thread, so thanks Mike for giving me the push to change something that has irritated me for quite some time |

In Windows 8.1, go to Control Panel | Language. Make sure English (UK) is a selected language. If you have several, make sure it's the default (top of the list).

What word processor or browser are you using, wii? It could be a local rather than global setting.

Chrome has set my spellchecker back to US English again  Is there a way to set it permanently to UK ? |

Global settings would be in the Windows OS, but you say you've checked that. Therefore there must be another language setting locally in Chrome.
<checks>
...and there is! Go to Settings, click Show Advanced Settings, then further down is Language and Input Settings. Click that button and you can set the default language to use.
