How hard would it be to add a spell check button to this forum, so users can proof posts?
Check your browser settings.
I post in Firefox and that has a spell checker built in. Better yet it lets me set the language as 'Canadian English' and recognizes my spelling in that dialect of English.
I suspect most browsers feature something similar.

OS X has a spellchecker built into the standard text entry fields, so OS X browsers automatically get spellchecking (unless the browser's developer has overridden them).
mmmm I am using Internet Explorer 6 by the all powerful Microsoft. nope no spell check here.
I have no choice in the matter either.
Never used it but I have heard it's decent.
What I need is a browser that handles BBCode tags for me :)
More to the point, is there a way to force a spell-checker on the boards for all the folks who can't spell. There are a few newer members that are causing my eyes to bleed when I attempt to make sense of their posts. :-\
'Canadian English'
Oxymoron?

As much as that idea is appealing to me, I'd say let's not. People have a right to be lazy and appear ignorant by not spell-checking or grammar-checking their own posts. To force this on them would be the wrong thing to do.

Oh, I did not mean anything like this! I mostly, selfishly wanted to prevent me from looking like that causes eye bleeding!. I am perfectly content to allow posters to reveal thier ignorance in any fashion they deem expediant. I just don't want to reveal mine! :)

Darn humans, You just want to bring my elven visual acuity down to Your own level thru excessive eye-bleeding. ;P
Of course, being as some posters on here do not speak English as their 1st language, I was also thinking it might be helpful to have such a tool. Yew no, sew they wood et leest sea there miss steaks end lurn.
