Rob, any plans to have spell check added to the thread posting interface?

if you use IE there is a spell check built in, but it only works with IE.

for the rest of us i have these recommendations

for FireFox (and IE) you can install and use the Google toolbar, this has a built in form spell checker that will check all text and form fields on a web page. it works better than the vB spell checker anyways.

for Safari users... well you have a mac, so as we expect, its built right into the browser. if its not already on, right click (control + click) select spelling and then "as you type" this will check and highlight mis specced words as you type

Good deal! I have to use IE at work and I get frustrated! IT won't let us have anything else. I have admin rights to my computer but installing a non-approved browser would be a quick way to lose them!
