For Internet Explorer 6 go up to View, click Encoding, then select Japanese.

i have my encoding support on... and it doesn't show Japanese
it can be input into the browser, but the forum itself can't display them as they're saved in ANSI format

"i have my encoding support on... and it doesn't show Japanese"

Something wrong with your browser then perhaps. I just turned Jap encoding on and Joey's message came out in Jap characters. Of course, I doubt that all Jap characters are supported.

I think the post count = free DBDN time is not necessarily a great idea. Some people do loads of useful DB stuff and still have very low post counts.

i got it working... my ime was playing up
that aside though there should be builtin support for this site because it should be able to setup the auto-select to recognise jap on it own not without having to turn on the support.

i guess a post count thing would be silly, but i was kinda hoping that perhaps when i hit 10,000 because that is quite a record for under a year

Yeah, and on the other side of the coin, some people have high post counts simple becuase they post one-word replies, start seanless topics, and/or ingade in flamewars. To give people freebies baced on post counts is like giving promtions baced on how long there hair is.

lol ... perhaps but even with the number of post some people make most don't even come close to my adverage

i've definately gotta have the highest here, and if what people post here i beat all by nearly 90% ... and the higher posters are actually those who generally do help out more, probably because there are so many questions asked.

perhaps we could also have a similar system to the kudos though, work based on that - but still i think i'm a special case, don't care about other getting it for thier post counts

Yep. We said it before several years ago. I mentioned a count per forum area. So general topic posts won't be considered as "important" as coding topic posts, for example. Or just don't count general posts. Used to be quite happy with something like 95% non-general posts, but lately has been completely the other way around. Must get back to non-work related coding at some point... sigh...

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Maybe they should give you a free T-shirt with the words

on it.

ya know i'm not sure if they still do but they used to sell DB T-Shirts - there was a lovely picture of Rick modeling it

To date you have posted 7581 messages to the forums.

i wonder if any net bunnies wanna make me an adverage calculator .. that'll grab my post count then adverage it by the time i've spent on here and then grab someone else and do the same for them

pointless but i kinda like the idea that my insane post count isn't going to waste as just a large number

Raven, are you an idiot? I did exactly that in DBPro. See one of the previous posts in this thread.

Fine, I'll repost it.

"You can use the following code to find your average PPD (posts per day) and your RPP (Raven Post Percentage - lol )

In case you were wondering, Ravens PPD is 19.1051. Mine is 4.4252. My RPP is 0.231624%."

I took the date that Joined (Sun Sep 22nd 2002), and put in your post count. Then I made a variable with your PPD (19.1051) and made it calculate mine by dividing mine by yours. The only problem is that it is not up to date. But that should not matter, because it is an average and wont change much. Get it?

It does if you switch your encoding to: Japanese (Shift-JIS) - Unfortunately (EUC) doesn't work. I always have to do this when I view Japanese characters, for some reason my (Auto-select) doesn't work properly so it might be the same for you too.

Edit: Just noticed a 2nd page where this has been said already lol
