    I know that FireFox uses an inbuilt spell checker for those that have it installed but is there any use for a spell check button when posting?

    It might be worth having if it's not too much trouble to implement.

    I think its been suggested a good few times but they dont see the point if you have it built into your browser anyway. It indicates mis-spelling with a red line and you only have to right click to sort it. Otherwise, the Google Toolbar has an even better spell checker.

    I think externally built spellcheckers are better than the current vBulletin ones, and it would be a waste of time to rebuild one from scratch when browser plugins already do it so well.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
