This version is for vB 3.6.2---

Per your SQL error - you're running vB 3.5.4

Try to install the version for vB 3.5.4 and you might have better luck.

well that's what i thought too, but i read this part of the description...

so i was under the assumption that it would work.

I really don't know - as I was just browsing and saw the vB version at the top of the SQL error.

Did you run the x10 SQL Queries from the ALT file too?

Sorry if this has been covered, but I've been through this thread and didn't find an answer. I'm getting ready to upgrade from vB 3.0.6 to vB 3.6.2, and I have Tamarian's spellcheck installed on 3.0.6. IIRC, the table in Tamarian's version is called spelling_words. Can I just rename it to vbspell and install this mod, or do I have to do anything else? TIA.

A bit late in my reply here, but thanks Baze22 - your code change works a treat, I now have working popups for the spell checker. :D

Finally, I can call this mod "working"!

I went back to revist this after leaving it not quite fixed for some time as I was motivated by the latest inbuilt spell checker in firefox 2. There is a problem in the code of vbulletin that prevents the inbuilt firefox spell checker from working, but there is an easy hack here, which apparently will be implemented in the next revision of vbulletin.

So, once everyone kicks their dirty old Internet Explorer habit (or MS catches up and copies more Firefox features into their new version), eventually, we won't need a hack for spell checking.

I like the little red underline I get as I type, which is far more familiar than having to click on a button to do spell checking, so I'll not be using this hack anymore (though my users still will for a while).

Sorry, I spoke too soon.
I use Firefox, but unfortunately most of my users still rely on IE, the lowest common denominator.
Seems that in IE, the window does pop up, but if you try to change a word by clicking in the "change to" box, no selection/typing is possible. I'd guess that some method used to bring focus onto that window interferes with the ability to select anything inside it.
Any other ideas? I might go and see if I can learn about these properties and their behaviour in IE.

I use the advanced and have the problem

For me the problem has been solved. The latest version of FF has a built in spell check. And if you have ieSpell installed in your IE it works flawlessly. I don't see any point in installing the mod anymore there doesn't seem to be any direct support and the dictionaries available from ieSpell and FF are much more vast than what is available here.

I keep getting the following error

It was working fine when I was running VB3.6.0, however I upgraded over the weekend and uninstalled and reinstalled the addon.

I'd prefer to use the alternate method since the installer dosen't appear to be adding the vbspell table to the database, however, I do not know how to get it to quit looking at the database.

Any help would be appreciated
