Actaully seventhseal, I am the persons that wrote to you, asking for permission to port your wonderful module from php-nuke to xoops. The work on that has begun and is in progress.
I've been working on bringing phpSpell into the XOOPS core as it is a wonderful spell checker. It integrates right into phpBB with ease on my old PHPNuke system and I really missed it once I moved over to XOOPS (Since I can't spell worth a damn)
I'll keep everyone informed of my progress here concerning the integration with XOOPS core and NewBB.
But there is a script to convert from NewBB to PHPBB? I'd be in hog heaven if there was, that's the Forum I prefer and I really need the functions it carries inherantly instead of waiting for NewBB to get anywhere soon.
