Thread: Russian Text No Longer Shows Up!

Hey
For some reason, russian text on this forum is no longer automaticly displayed. I have to go in and change the encoding to Cyrillic manually. It never used to do this. Any Idea how to fix it so it works again?

I had the exact same problem.

For some reason I now have the exact promlem...what in the heel is going on? O_O

How do you change it manually?

In IE
View->Encoding->Cyrillic

очевидно вот поэтому

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Come on, work it out yourself, it isn't that hard.

I can see all Russian text still, just not like...on the site.

I have the same problem and I have firefox, so, drew881:
Edit -> View -> Character Encoding-> More Encodings ->East European->Cyrillic (Windows-1251)

Mine has been bad all day. I have to manually turn it back on every time I turn a page. Sucky!!

I noticed the website was offline for awhile late last night? Could be the cause. Now the sucky european freak font is defaulted. Though, I did come on line early today and it appeared to have fixed itself. Changing manually to cryllic each page is a pain. There is a way to set default...I don't know what it is. I do know how to set to cryillic each and every page. Does anyone really read or learn to read the freak font. Seems much like brail. I HATE IT!!!

Administrator, please change the encoding back to the correct value! It's f%@n' annoying to set the encoding manually on every single page!

I've got the same problem too. At first I thought it was the university computers, but at least now I know they're not to blame. On the other hand, I still don't have a clue what to do about it, so maybe I'll check back here tomorrow and see if the problem has been corrected

Do zavtra!

actually when u install windows, it asks for location and language where u stay.

for eg. if we select russian, then automatically the encoding is in cyrillic.

if we choose English or any other country, it tends to install other encodings like western european etc.... so we have to change it manually to cyrillic when we visit russian sites...

so if u are too desperate to have cyrillic coding...u have to format and reinstall windows and when prompted, select ur language as russian..

this also helps if u have to type russian in notepad and u r using windows non russian version. routine language change option does not work in notepad as it works in MS word...

hope this helps..

ps- u can also try selecting russian language option in control panel>regional settings...tho i m not sure it will help !!

best luck

Errr, no, encoding worked fine right up until yesterday, and now it doesn't. It has absolutely nothing to do with Windows.

I too am having to manually change it each time I open a new page.

Yes a_medico, this is true. However in this particular instance various users across the globe have simultaneously been presented with the now different forum fonts. So...you see...it isn't here on our ends. Unless of course someone is trying to tell us something.......(joke :0 )


such as study more russian...read less forum....

lolll

a_medico... I like your avatar


It appears to be only Forum portion of the site that defaults to the ..... font. The other pages when I check to see what the encoding is states "cryillic", but forum states "western European"

Thanks for being a smart ass once again. Probably took you longer to write your stupid witty remark. As for firefox, there are two spots to screw around with languages (one in options, and one in view) , both having to do with encoding, so i changed the one under options first, which still didnt work, so at least i tried before asking.

Thanks friendy for helping out.
