General :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Why do the features in forums/bulletin boards not worj within K-meleon?
None of the features work(spellcheck,bold,italics etc...)
*you'll notice I spelled work as "worj"...this didn't appear underlined as it should have*
I've used K'meleon for years, and posted to boards etc..and never knew what I was missing until I used another browser,this is a serious issue and I am considering FIREFOX!...please help me prevent this insanity, but it's a real timesaver (those missing features)
There's already a spellchecker for K-Meleon.
Look to KMES extension page (in my signature)

Ed, perhaps set UserAgentString to imitate Firefox. Usually pages will work normal after that.
It is a FAQ that some pages do not allow all feature if the do not know the browser.
Plus for boards You usually need to allow JavaScript, cookies & often all images.
p.s. There is almost no difference between between a Firefox 2 GRE, except that the Firefox engine additionally ships mail components (& that is what I would call redundancy). If You hide the real ID of Your browser, page designers cannot throw sticks between Your legs. There is even an extension, autoswitcher, that automatically changes browser UserAgentString when needed. You just have to add pages where it is needed.
And yes - like alain's answer suggests - K-Meleon got (many) new extensions. And K-Meleon Forum has a new part where such innovations are published. And K-Meleon has two extension collection pages, plus several pages for individual extensions.
Thx to all.

Options like bold or italic in forums just need javascript enabled, to show the buttons. That's all! In all browsers. And if someone hates javascript, it's still possible to type those styles manually, or use the forum macro.
As for spellcheckers, I don't know any forum that offers this, guess it's usually a browser add-on
In Firefox perhaps enabled by default, no idea, but in K-Meleon available too, just optional, if anyone wants it. Personally I hate those things, because in the job I'm forced to use MS-Office, and there it's extremely difficult to get rid of those ugly "word decorations" 
But seeing that really many people need them, even I would opt to include that macro in KM by default too...
Spell checker and autoswitcher are surely needed as default for DAUs like me.
Not sure whether i need all, but i like extra smilies
