AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the request for spell and grammar tools in the "new post" section of a forum, with a user offering to share a hack from HiveMail for vBulletin integration. There is also anticipation for HiveMail's upcoming version 1.3, which will be compatible with vB3.

Admin,

Can you add spell & grammar tools in "new post" section?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm willing to provide the system we use at HiveMail as a hack for vBulletin, if the owners wish.

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.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
