Problems when posting in the russian section

(1/2) > >>

Cerberus:
When I'm posting in the Russian langauge support section I'm encountering a weird problem (charset?) :'(.
When I preview my post (opera 7.21|win xp) all the message, composed of cyrillic letters, is displayed correctly, but when I post the message is stored as a set of question marks, therefore other members aren't able to read my message.

Any thoughts?
PS: other Russian-speaking members have managed to post their message... ::)

Have you tried a different browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla/Firefox?

I believe you can also force charsets with Opera and these other browsers; do you?  If so, to which charset... and does changing that help?

Cerberus:

--- Code: ---<html lang="en_US">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

--- End code ---
Yes, I can force and set up a certain charset manually. Well, I've tried uft, iso-8859-1 and all the existing Russian encodings. Unknown, what do you think about creating special templates with national charsets for language specific boards?

[Unknown]:
That's done with language files.  Special template or themes are completely unnecessary.

Have you tried another browser?
