Cheers for the tip but I've tried this and I can't get it to work.
I liked the little vbulletin button thingy. I just used it for when I couldn't remember how to spell inconvenience. Guess it'll be miseplled words form me from now on.

There's no built in spell checker for anything other than IE, as far as I know. Why IE and not anything else, I have no idea, presuambly there was a handy plugin for IE and not Firefox when the vBulletin developers included it.
