    Newer versions of Firefox have a built in spell check. When I mis-spell a word, it will underline the misspelled word in red, then I can right click on it to correct it.

    The ability to add a spell check would be NOT possible for Parallax to implement, as they did not write or maintain the software used to host the forums, it is purchased software.

    I think Brian meant it would not be possible. =) He is correct. Take care.

    Actually, it is possible, but you'll need to hack the software. Or move the board to vBulletin. Actually, you need to move the board to vBulletin anyway... But I digress...

    Just download the latest FireFox. Free!

    And I vote for PHPbb over vBulletin for a lot of reasons.

    I do not care for this DotNetBB at all. One thing you cannot do is view topics that have been responded to since your last visit - easily. You cannot display just one post and get a URL for it. You cannot post a LONG list (over 30 ish URLs and have them display properly. I suspect the space in a filename download bug is a forum issue of not escaping the name correctly. PHPbb does not suffer any of these, and is easily extensible, as you get the source code.
