I uploaded the files, and did the template edits, however when I go to spellcheck a post the window pops up with the word highlighted in red, but no options for replacement, no nothing, just blank boxes where that stuff should be. If I hit replace it replaces it with nothing, naturally. I made sure that teh files were upped properly, and re-checked the edits and sm only able to get a pop-up window with nothing in the lower boxes. I can post a screenshot if you like.

Sounds like you didnt run the install.... The dictionary file was never added.

I added it, and even checked in PHPmyadmin and they are all there, 192917 words from a to zyzzyvas in the proper table.

I tried it in IE and firefox - same thing.

The empty box just means it found no suggestions to correct the misspelled word. This does happen to some words, if they are unlike anything in the dictionary.

Ok- well I tested it using the phrase "This is a tesst. I am tetsing the spelll fucntion and I hopp it works" and it found no suggestions for changes. If it can't fix that then the spell check is pretty useless. Please try entering that phrase in to your forum (where vbspell is working) and let me know if it catches it.

Every spell checker has words it can't find suggestion for. That's just the way they work.

However, tesst should have worked and found test.

I suspect something went wrong in the installation. Have you done anything different than the instructions? If you followed everything to the letter, and have the latest version, create a test account and PM it to me, I'll take a look.

thanks for the offer and thanks for the hack. I reinstalled it again (for the 4th time) and it is now working! :D I can't tell you what I did differently, but I re-ran the installer a few times, and this time it stuck!

Must be the gremlins :) Glad it worked for you :up:

I added changes B & C to the pm_newpm template and it works fine for private messages :D

Very good!!!
