Language font help

OnyxCougar · 10-07-2003, 09:56 AM

Some of you may have noticed that I changed my title.

It's supposed to be russian characters.

I don't know how to "turn on" the language features of the board.

UT!! HELP!!

No no, HTML just isn't allowed in the user titles, sorry. In fact I don't believe it's even an option I can turn off.

OnyxCougar · 10-07-2003, 10:12 AM

HMM.. I didn't think it was html, but looking at it, I guess those are html character codes. Well crap. The board doesn't have mutlifont language support at all? I looked on the users page, but didn't find anything.

A classmate of mine from college was once confronted with a journal article about a German composer in a German journal written in (you guessed it) German. She said, "They should write these things in English so everybody can read it."

OnyxCougar · 10-07-2003, 10:23 AM

FINE!! Squelch my effort to be original.

**Sulks in a corner.**

No no, it does, it just doesn't permit it in the user titles. You could use the extended characters in a message but it's disabled in user titles and sigs and such because people can abuse it to do all kinds of weird things.

You can put those chars into your message though!

OnyxCougar · 10-07-2003, 10:33 AM

No problem, UT. I'll console myself with putting it on my webpage.

I've noticed other versions of this BBS software that allow user Avatars/Icons/Pictures under their usernames. Maybe UT could set that up, and then OC could make her Russki thing into a graphic?

I'll now run and hide, since I'm pretty sure UT doesn't need this kind of trouble right now.

OnyxCougar · 10-07-2003, 10:36 AM

**giggle** You assume I would know how to put it into a graphic. Really. DON'T worry about it. It's OK. Really. Honest.

Undertoad · 10-07-2003, 11:18 AM

Avatars are turned off because they make any forum look like ass.

Yeah...I'm on an automotive site that uses this same software, and they have *everything* imaginable turned on...I can barely find the posts on that board.

Oh! OK, she must have just cut 'n' pasted the extended ASCII, instead of the HTML ampersand thingie.

See what happens if you create your sig in Word or something, and cut and paste it into the field there when you update your title.

No good.
