Well, I don't know how or why my PC has started doing it, but it is handy!

One of my email accounts makes a noise to let me know I have a new mail, but the other doesn't.

I also had a bit of a shock the other day, as Mr P had fiddled with things and I had Clint Eastwood telling me that my virus database had been updated!

I have a 'swoosh' for sendgrin but then I'm a very simple soulsmile

iPad does the spell check automatically, sometimes with very odd results! [Hmm]It's sometimes better to turn it off!
To get the sound effects, go to settings and follow the menu.

Oh please Gally tell me how you do that?id love it. My computer used to have a pirates and treasure theme but I've only got a treasure chest for recycling and it creaks when it closes down. I love it.

On my iPad I have a dog woofing when something arrives in my in box and a hunting horn sounds when I send a message grin Such simple pleasures wink

My computer has suddenly started making little 'ping' noises when I get fb notifications.....I swear it's nothing I've done! grin

I don't think websites can do that, can they?

Not being able to spell doesn't make you stupid!

Jadey Fri 08-Mar-13 18:41:56

I wish GNHQ could do that it would be more pleasurable if we didnt have to keep worrying about spelling something wrong and everyone laughing at you and thinking how stupid you must be if you can not spell.

I get the spell check too which is helpful as I an a crack speller!!

Seem to remember had to 'ask' for it by trying to spell check a word I wasn't sure of and clicking the option in the drop down menu.

Why do computers suddenly do strange things? All on their own! confused

We'd LOVE to take the credit for this for cake, but it's your computer doing that, not us...

Ella46 Fri 08-Mar-13 17:37:25

I get that when typing messages on my iPhone, but not on here hmm

Ana Fri 08-Mar-13 17:37:05

It must be your computer, rather than GNHQ, perhaps? No one else has mentioned it....confused

Anne58 Fri 08-Mar-13 17:35:30

Well, that is odd! I get red lines under things if I type utter bollocks rubbish.

I will type some gibberish and see what happens.

There! I put "gibberish" with only 1 B and it auto corrected! And if I put banas instead of bananas, I get a red line under banas!

(Don't know why I choose bananas as an example, I don't even like them)

Ana Fri 08-Mar-13 17:19:56

I don't....if I did it wouldn't let me type ribbush! grin

Anne58 Fri 08-Mar-13 17:13:13

Umm, I seem to have an automatic spell check thingy when I type a post?????

Cryptic or what....[puzzled]

I'm probably a bit late with this, but would like to say a huge thank you for the spelling thing! grin flowers cupcake wine
