Expressing a feeling of loneliness

There's also a problem accessing old posts....at least this one for me....if there's anything floating around for that.

わくわく、 blah blah, etc | Japan Forum

All of the posts in that thread display (relatively) well for me in Shift-JIS. 'a' and 'ku' are mangled in some posts but that's all.
Also I think EUC posts work fine for me - although you have to select Japanese (EUC) manually to view them.

[Edit] Make that 'fine except for the 'ki' character.

Once when it went from the old forum code to the new one when it changed to ISO-8859-1 (which is for Western text). Oddly that worked for most people for new posts. However some (apparently non-Windows &/or non-IME users) were disadvantaged.

Twice when it switched to JIS - which was a disaster. As I'd noted before hand there are quite a few single-character bytes that are used in the double-character JIS encoded text that are mangled by the forum code (& " < > that I know of). Due to the way JIS works a single error can mangle an entire thread.

Three times when it switched to the (current) x-sjis, which almost works - except for some characters (窶?, 窶?, 窶｢*, and one of the two from 窶｢ﾃ冷?ｹ* that I know of). Luckily the mangling only affects one character.

Yeah, I realized later I hadn't considered the current switch....

OK--thanks, JIS and EUC appear to allow it as normally for me as well.
