oh, yes, you are right. i checked my file and found the exact line you mentioned having been changed almost half a year back. my memory just didn't serve me well and the file was buried deep in the directory structure.

cannot say how grateful i felt to your help. though i've posted to this fourm only a few questions up to now. yet everytime the community here never gives me up. yes, i love XOOPS and XOOPS people. thank you again.

i would like to encode the activation email in non-english characters by default. so when users read the email in emial client programs (like outlook), they don't need to manually change the language encoding into non-english ones to read it. what file should i go to do that? in fact, i've been searching for the forum for quite a while and can't find the answer.

the funny thing is, well, i once found the answer here and in fact have implemented the feature in my own site. yet i forgot how to do it and what character strings i used in the search box a few months back. now as one of my friends asked me how i changed the language code, i was left in total ignorance. that's why i'd like to ask for your kind help on this.

this time i'll put it down as a note for future reference. thank you for your help in advance.

oh, yes, you are right. i checked my newbb forum and found out there is a pull-down menu to show all posts. how stupid i am!! and thank you for your reminder.

yet there is another question i'd like to ask for help. where should i go to change that setting? since my pull-down menu shows 100 days by default, i suppose that is the initial setting. but i cannot find any place in the systemadmin screen to do the change? do i need to go to specific files instead?

again, thank you for your kind help in advance.

my site has been running for months without any problems. yet i found recently that some of the articles in some discussion boards in the newbb forum simply disappear. i checked my sql database, and can see those articles (including topic and content) still exist. i tried to flush my data (including post and post text), yet articles still cannot show in the forum. sincerely hope someone well read in XOOPS can help me. sincerely thank you for your kind help in advance.
