    If it was just patches I would be pissed, but Jelsoft, the company who makes this software, is always increasing the functionality of the software and making it better and better.
    See Jim, I knew you would find a good way to use the $59 bucks

    The board looks much better

    RSR is still here. How can you say that the board has been upgraded?

    Can you install iespell.com or something similar for our sanity? Grammar check would be nice as well, but I'm not sure if that one has been invented yet.

    A couple years ago, for an older version of vB, there used to be a spellcheck plugin. The author pulled it though and I haven't seen another since. I'll peek around though and see if anything is around.

    There are plenty of hacks / add-ons that people can use for their browsers that will allow them to automatically check spelling in any forms they type into - like IEspell. My experience has shown me that those who are "under educated" generally don't care enough about the appearance of their intelligence to be bothered.

    Firefox has a built in spell checker. Works great, though I sometimes purposely misspell words or purposely not capitalize because of my disdain of them like islam, muslim, mfm.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Firefox not only has a spell check function, it has Ad-Block. Which helps me block all the annoying ads on pages, to help them load quicker.
