In summary, Admin asks if spell and grammar tools can be added to the "new post" section and offers to provide the system used at HiveMail as a hack for vBulletin. The conversation also discusses the compatibility of HiveMail with vb3 and the possibility of a spelling hack for HiveMail to be used on vBulletin. Chen mentions that HiveMail 1.3 includes a spelling feature, but suggests using external libraries for faster performance.

I'm willing to provide the system we use at HiveMail as a hack for vBulletin, if the owners wish.

Speaking of which, when will hivemail be compatible with vb3? I would like to get it for PF.

ok back to the topic, I will look into spelling check solutions. Chen do you have a spelling hack for hivemail that woulbe be easy to port over here or do you actually have vb3 spelling check hack?

HiveMail 1.3 actually includes a spelling feature, althought it "independent" in that it doesn't use any external libraries to perform the spell checking. It's actually pretty damn fast, but if you have access to install pspell or aspell on this server you should probably use those. As for the interface, you can easily rip HiveMail's and just change the underlying code to make calls to the libraries instead of checking the words through PHP.
