It depends on your OS how to switch (Chrome) spell-checker on / off.

Here's for Android:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't spell check related to your device, not the forum.
Trying installing Grammarly.

It is device related.

Yes, to part one.

But I’ll add a small caveat. Sometimes, revisions in browser operating system render some interactions with things like forum systems inoperative. Things like links not working, text no displaying correctly. I’m not certain of the ins and outs, but on another php based forum that I’ve been a member of for a few decades, they’re playing catch-up all of the time. Night/day switching once had us all guessing. It could be spell check is working, but the prompt has become obscure.

I’ve also found a few spelling omissions in recent times, where the device default dictionary has, for inexplicable reasons, failed to recognise a valid spelling, or offers a popular option which isn’t the one intended. And the popular option being debatable, too.

So relieved. I was starting to get concerned.
