I have a English website but there are some Japanese word inside the forum but i didn't want the whole site to be in Japanese. So i just edit the "_CHARSET" in the "lang-English.php" to "Shift_JIS" so that i can view the japanese words in forum.

But after i change that, when viewing the forum using Internet Explorer, it shows up some simbol of a box all over the site. You can take a look at [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] . But there are no boxes if i use Firefox to view it.

Can anyone help me fix the error ?

Have you tried going to View>Encoding and switching the language to Japanese? I'm not sure that will work, but it's worth a try.

It's not that problem. I have already set the encoding of the site to Japanese. The problem is when i view tha forum using IE, there are lots of boxes in the pages but there are none of them when i use Firefox to view it.

Example in the picture.

Looks to me like your spacer.gifs aren't loading, or they don't have border="0" in the <img> tag. Look through the .tpl file to see if the squares are actually spacer .gif images instead of text characters.

It looks like the boxes is a spacer in text. No actually a picture.

When i view the source using Firefox, the script looks like these.

<tr>
   <th colspan="2" class="thCornerL" height="25" nowrap="nowrap"> Forum </th>
   <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap"> Topics </th>
   <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap"> Posts </th>
   <th class="thCornerR" nowrap="nowrap"> Last Post </th>
</tr>


When i view the source using IE, the scipt is like these.

<tr>
   <th colspan="2" class="thCornerL" height="25" nowrap="nowrap">Forum</th>
   <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">Topics</th>
   <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">Posts</th>
   <th class="thCornerR" nowrap="nowrap">Last Post</th>
</tr>


Anyways to remove those spacer ?
