Question How to change the default character encoding?

My forum is in Thai and I'd like to set the default character encoding to TIS-620. Is there a way to do that?

TIA,
nn.

Forumer does not support language packs. There is a translation mod available at www.fmods.com (Registration required)

Hi,

Do I need to install language pack? I only want to know where to put in the code so that it will tell the browser to use TIS-620 as the encoding (meta tag).

Thanks,
nn.

Just look at post number 5, at this point there is actually no difference whether you have IE or FF or OE or MSNE etc.

hi wr3698er73678, thanks for the link. I found that on the previous IPB board I used, there was a place that allowed me to change the encoding in Meta tag -- under skins & templates -> board wrappers. Apparently, this option is not available in forumer board..

multiman, I'm using Firefox

Well its not available because forumer likes to muck with things. Especially the ACP, and they have taken out some features that they didnt think were nessacary. Now, the link will help you. But that code in your Board Header Logo Links etc template and make sure the encoding is set to TIS-620 on the code.
