Subject Line Customization for Moderators

I would like to be able to customize the color of a thread subject line, for example. This would be espeically helpful for Floated Threads. Or is this a feature I just missed?

Status:

Floated threads within a board are styled in a different manner so that they stand out. Although, all floated threads are styled the same way.

Improvements to the spell checker - it's not that useful now

I know the text editor was not created by Lithium, but maybe something could still be done.

Our forum used to just have a plain text editor, and all Firefox users could use Firefox's inbuilt spell checker, which was pretty good.

Now in our latest version we use the standard spell checker and I have to say it's pretty poor.

- it is missing a lot of technology-related words so it is not of much use on a tech forum. For example in this post, it doesn't know "Firefox". Or "ok" - only "OK" in caps.

- it is in US English. We have a lot of UK visitors and they feel offended that their way of spelling is deemed "incorrect".

- it opens up in an ugly pop-up, is slow and sometimes gives a "ERROR: JSpell is already attached, or jspellInit has not been called before calling jspellCheck." error.

- it goes through the words one by one and that's just too annoying in a long post with lots of tech words that are written ok, but missing from the checker.

There's a few options:

- Add UK spelling

- Add more tech words. I can send in a long list for our forum, but I think they should be available for all other Lithium forums as well.

- Somehow enable the browser spell check also for the graphical editor (it works in "Edit as html" ).

Add same Rich Text Editor options to Idea comments/replies

Would it be possible to change the response/comment form on Ideas to be the same as the "New Idea" editor and normal forum editor? It currently does not provide the same Rich Text Editor options that we're used to (in the "New Idea," "New Post," "Reply Post"). But if you make a post/comment and go back and edit it, it will open it up in the response form that we're used to...with all the Rich Text Editor options, etc.

Thanks for the idea Roxy. The idea behind having a light weight comment form is to do quick posts without all the heavy duty options like images, font styles etc. What specific editor options do your users want to use while commenting?
