Why have Yahoo dropped the spell checker

Question

why have they changed the format and dropped the spell checker the only change I can see is that they are highlighting the fact that you should check your content before posting.

Answer 1

It's highlighted in blue on the right side in that same area that you get that message to check. But it keeps popping up then going away.

Answer 2

Probably cos you have one in the yahoo toolbar.

Answer 3

We still have spell checker (appears when you make a mistake) with a pencil by it, it also tells you things like "Youve used alot of puctuation there!" its been going on all day, the amount of "coffee breaks" yahoo have had, stopping your answers being submitted has been ridiculous today ... hope its sorted out quickly!

Answer 4

still there, on the right of the screen only appear if you make a spelling errorl. It is a pencil with a rubber.  

Answer 5

no they haven't its still there. Your probably spelling correctly!

Answer 6

It checks it for me =\

And Tells me "Hmm..it looks like you have a lot of punctuation" in that annoying bubble thing  

Answer 7

Start using Firefox.  Much better and safer than Internet Explorer and underlines misspelled words.  

I hate this annoying bubble that pops up with the new YA format that says "oops, check your spelling!" or "you have a lot of punctuation" (which I just got for some odd reason).
