Version 2 of Firefox has a very nice spellchecker (although it thinks I spelled spellchecker wrong). We chose not to have editable posts at Mudcat, but we do have a "preview" function that allows people to double-check before they post. We chose not to allow photos in posts because they slow down thread loading, but photos of members are available for fellow members to see.

As had been said above, Mudcat is set up to allow most HTML tags, so you can do a lot in the way of special effects.

All those bells and whistles are nice, but they tend to slow down thread loading and create glitches that cause problems. Our Forum is based on an Internet database engine called ColdFusion, and the Forum is more-or-less the format setup by ColdFusion (with many customizations). We could have bought another database package, but we didn't.

I don't foresee any significant new technical features coming in the near future. I do hope that we will have some additions to content fairly soon.
