    Hey guys, how come the Russian at the top of this is fine but the rest is gibberish?

    Solution!

    The Russian at the top is ok because it's an image. It's not actually text.

    Right click on the page, go to encoding, and choose Cyrillic. If it isnt there, go to more, then choose cyrillic.

    I had to try a couple cyrillic encodings before I found the right one, but the right one for me was Cyrillic (Windows)

    Guys (Biancca and fantom) how do you insert images into your messages? I can see only links instead of pictures themselves (I use Firefox as browser), like this:

    Code:
    I took a look at the source code and saw that angel brackets were replaced with &lt and &gt.

    Code:
    <img src="http://www.plushenko.ru/forum/files/dscf2359.jpg">

    The &lt and &gt were old school HTML 2.0 commands. &lt is another way of writing <, and &gt is another way of writing >.

    I don't, I think that firefox automatically changes that... In IE, it's just < and > when I look at the sourcecode. Firefox is more of a programmer-oriented browser (so is pretty much anything Mozilla does... Wait a minute, Mozilla was the name of the Netscape mascot during the Microsoft Anti-trust case... Did Mozilla branch off from Netscape?)
    Sorry, got sidetracked... Since it's more of a programming oriented browser, they translate ordinary characters (read: not alphanumeric) into HTML characters to avoid problems. I do this in programming because SQL (and most other RMDB's) doesn't like special characters like apostrophes, so I always use chr(39) instead... Also, you can't store a carriage return (press of the enter button), so you store chr(13) & chr(10)

    So yeah, that's why it translates into a more computer-friendly format...

    Actually, that is what impresses some girls in America (well, at least the one from the desert).

    OK, Biancca, I was just kidding.

    I know that Плющенко has millions of fans all over the world, many women are mad about him and that's probably not only because of his skating.

    offtopic: who's the skating girl on your avatar? is it... you?..
