Thnx for sharing us that info LS :D

Wow this is pro, I just got a response back from my host saying they installed Pspell, sweeeet. Defiantly fast. ^_^

edit:

ack! drat, they told me it's installed but the pop-up window is giving me this error:
help?

That error means they didn't install the library correctly. :)

They may have installed the pspell libraries, but they will also need to recompile PHP with pspell support i.e. with the --with-pspell[=dir] directive.

Send me a test account (via PM) and I'll check it out.

Hey Raz, is it possible to run the spell check from another domain?
I have two sites (a separate domain/account for my forums) and I was wondering if I could run the spell checker from my other account to save resources on the forums account.

Nope, it has to be installed on the domain that it will be used on.

The only reason for this is because of the way IE has set permissions for modifying forms.

Do you have a screenshots?

I disagree, if the host is this willing to just try something out on a production box, then I wouldn't trust my data with them...

What if they install something that causes wide spread data coruption, 'whoops, it was a customers request...'

You don't install everything a customer wants.. Thats why it shared hosting.. If you want certain software, get a dedicated box...

I don't want to continue on an irrelevant tangent, but I think it's understood that a hosting provider is not going to put untested modifications on their servers without doing proper research and testing.

A decent hosting company will certainly try to cater to their customer's needs as much as they can to a certain extent. There are competent services out there that will do this for you.

And with regard to data, any half-decent company will regularly backup your data.
