UUB Editor available?
 

Is there a cheap or (better yet) free editor that can generate UBBCode, so I can create and edit my posts offline before posting? It seems I always miss something and have to go back and fix a tag.

It's vBCode with vBulletin. :) UBBCode is for UBB.

Not to my knowledge, but why not just use the "Preview" option? Since the actual tags and smilies will vary with each implementation, the offline client would have to be able to access the server's MySQL database to know the full assortment of features. "Preview" would seem to be your best bet.

yep
if I make a big posts with lots of code in it.. I always hit preview first.. and keep tweaking and hitting preview until I have it how I want it.

Yeah, normally I do too. Usually I compose the message in Word, so I can spell-check it first, then paste it into the reply, then format it. It's just that it's kind of a pain to do that, so I wanted to cut a few steps out.

spell check? what's that? ;)
