The new configuration of Photohistory ru site is not so good as the previous one.
Also we cannot read in Russian once all characters are incompatible.
Mozilla does not recognize and...
Using the Prompt translator reveals that also there is no Unicode
base for translation.
Giving us the message:

Error processing URL http://www.photohistory.ru/1207248187299134.html
80070459: No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page.

Hi Luiz,

if you force your browser to Character Encoding Cyrillic (Windows-1251) I found that it works really good.

I actually like the new navigation a bit better, the site browsing became a little cleaner, you see where you are and can navigate from category to category easier.. I would probably make a bit more differentiation between category and subcategory but otherwise I think it's quite an improvement although not as print friendly as the previous version (I used to print all the articles and combine them into a book)..

Luiz,

Not a problem - in Mozilla Firefox 3.0 (in English version at least) go to menu on top "View", then "Character Encoding" then "More Encodings" then "Eastern European" then "Cyrillic (Windows-1251)". That should set your browser to standard Russian font for that site.
