Speel chek isnt werkin fer da qwik repli boxx. Me thinks its cuz da boxx isnt “big nuff”. I think Firefox thinks it’s one long single line or something, like the title (which is the reason misspeeled words in titles are relatively common). ---

If you right click in the box, there may be an option to “spell check this field” which will ever after be permanently on for these kinds of Quick Reply boxes in other vbulletin messageboards. I think.
