Used to get (auto-fill? - like auto-correct? ) in posting, especially in the Subject title [View all]

Last edited Fri Jul 15, 2022, 05:24 PM - Edit history (1)

Don't know whether the name is "Autofill" or "AutoCorrect" or whatever. Iow, when I started to type "K&R* or "Hah!" or whatever thing I use frequently, the thing would present itself as an option as soon as I typed the first character. It was very convenient and time saving. Not anymore.

It's also possible I'm mis-remembering that this feature ever existed!

*** ON EDIT: THE auto-prompt is there on android phone and Kindle, not on laptop.

It exists. I still have it. tblue37 Jul 2022 #1

Is there a setting I lost? UTUSN Jul 2022 #2

I don't know. I've never had to do anything to use it. Have you tried rebooting? Or maybe signing tblue37 Jul 2022 #3

What browser are you using ? Tetrachloride Jul 2022 #4

Chrome. I don't use the Edge deal that is readily available. UTUSN Jul 2022 #5

My speculation is that your operating system spell check is off Tetrachloride Jul 2022 #6

In Settings, "Basic Spell Check" is on. Switched to "Enhanced Spell Check" no difference. UTUSN Jul 2022 #7

Just tried posting via Edge, no auto-fill. UTUSN Jul 2022 #8
