How do I run that command?

You do it from an SSH console. Or, you can ask your admin for the config of aspell. While you're at it, ask the admin if there's a dictionary for 'en'.

A few more tips: Disable the Learn function, to see if this is due to custom.pws file issues.

I disabled the learn feature and now it works!

Good to hear :) I think I made it disabled by default.

Now you can try a few things, if you want, to see if it can still work in learn mode. Visit the 3.0.7 thread, and you can try some of the solutions there.

I will also release another spell checker that doesn't need PSPELL compiled in, and uses MySQL instead.

Thanks so much for the assistance.. I am not a n00b to hacking vb but I am to troubleshooting.. I love this feature as I am sure my members will as well, once I upgrade my live site... Thanks again.

*Great Hack*

But, I was wondering what is different about this & the one I saw in 3.5.0 beta 2?
I noticed VB added a spell check button & when clicking it It as me to install ieSpell.
I did not notice this in beta 1, but I wasn't looking for it?

It was only introduced in beta2.

The difference is:

vB's spell checking is client side and requires Windows, IE and ieSpell downloaded and installed on each PC.

PungoSpell is server-side, and works on any platform and most browsers. Your members don't need to install or configure anything.

How would this, especially porting to MySQL, affect large boards? It seems that if you have 300 users all checking their spelling at the same time, it might cause some probs.

It's on my to-do list to generate some benchmark numbers between PungoSpell and PHPSpell. Large boards can restrict these features to usergroups if they see any performance issues.

Thanks for the reply, I will definally read up before I deside.
Thanks!
