My preference would be to first get the host to fix the query limit, since this will solve any future problems with the database. Once that fixed, you can just use the nstall script as usual.

If they don't want to do that, then your above work-around would work, provided that you don't run step #5

well, they will not up the max limit so the dump is the way I am going to have to go, but now I forsee another problem. Once the dump is made, it already has the table name etc....so I will more than likely get errors running the install program.

If you use phpMyAdmin, you can rename the table.

I am doing that but won't it say that Table already exists when I run the installer, AFTER I complete the dump?

In newreply & newthread under 3.0.8

you need to look for this

And then add this below for it show the buttens in the right spots.

It's messy anyway, due to the host limit, but:

This is a great feature.

One question. How do I change the text background to white? For some reason its defaulted to red. and I like black text (with red highlight) with a WHITE background. where do I change that?

UPDATE: I found a work around. I removed the link to my CSS file and copyed the CSS content into the vbspell_iframe.php and removed my background image which was causing the problem. :ermm:

I've had this down as installed for ages, but every time I go to do it, I stall and hold back and keep meaning to ask...

So....

What's this like on the old server loads and queries? Does it add a lot or very little?

It's quite fast and light, but you might want to test on the server just to be sure.

It's optimized to ignore common words (any words excluded from your vB search indexing), and the dictionary is indexed, and the queries are indexed, so I haven't noticed any load issues.

You can convert the dictionary table to a HEAP/memory table, but it doesn't seem to be needed.

It works great for regular posts and replies, but the spell check buttons shows an error and nothing happens
