> Could somebody with HTML-fu please repost (or edit) #6, ensuring that it does indeed include the stuff from #5, so I can store it properly?

I looked at it too, and I'm just as confused about the numbering.

As for the weird characters in the HTML problem, the fix for that is easy: Instead of editing them out, put this at the top of the HTML page in the HEAD section:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

All the message text at the board is stored in UTF-8 format to allow for international characters. The problem is, the web browsers have to be told that.

There are two ways: One is to create a .htaccess file in that directory with the following line:

Options Indexes

The problem is, the ISP may have disabled "overrides", which would render that useless. In that case, I made a PHP script you can throw in the directory you want to auto-list:

http://mangacool.com/media/dir.php.zip

You have to uncompress it first, change the name to "index.php", and then upload it. Hopefully your ISP allows PHP.
