One more suggestion.
 

One more quick suggestion. It would be nice if you could incorporate a spell checker into the message writing function. I have seen this on other forums that have similar software. Not a big deal bekause I sp el soh goad. ;)

Now this suggestion I like. Anyone know if this is doable? Fonz?

yeah
you need to apply a hack - the details of which are on the vb hack site

its very simple though - theres a few different versions available. One is called Pungo Spell and the other is called phpspell. PHPSpell looks like the easier one to apply.

have a go at applying them but if your struggling give me an email and ill help you out :)
