Hi: First, thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate it. I have a problem with the default language. I am retired in Thailand and many sites default the language to Thai - which I cannot read. If it is text I can copy and paste it into a translator but lots of times, like this one, it is a picture so I cannot copy the text. I would really like it to become a standard thing that any site defaulting to a language based on country of location have a switch somewhere that allows the user to select the language of choice from all your available options or, at least, a way to get back to English. IMHO that would help everyone affected. Anyway thanks again, I hope you will be back soon. May ICEFILMS live long and prosper, eh! Attachments:

Whatever browser you use, you can find a translator in the browser or can get an extension for the browser to translate.

Sorry, you missed part of my point.
The THAI TEXT is displayed in a picture (a JPG). I cannot copy the TEXT, only the picture. Also you cannot copy the TEXT part of a button. Translation sites do not translate pictures, only text.

Oh shit. Looks like your best option is to learn a bit of the Thai language, then. Probably a good idea to do that anyway if you live there, I would think.

lol. It's not like learning a language that uses our alphabet! You can't learn a few important words. Either you read or you don't. I don't. I do speak enough Thai to get by though!

Fun pun but to suggest the solution is that I learn to read Thai dodges your responsibility to ALL your users to put a language switch on your pages when YOU decide to change the language from English!
BTW: This has nothing to do with ICEFILMS. It is your bulletin board that has the problems.
AND: I can live without your bulletin board. In fact this will likely be the last, or close to last, time I EVER use it! (Mainly thanks to you and your helpfulness).

I am not responsible or versed in the structure on this forum. I am not sure why you even get a captcha. I never have. The fact it is in a foreign language, I would assume, is because it is automatically translated by your browser due to where you reside.
Sorry I offended you. Not my intention. Sorry I can not offer you a solution.

Fine, sorry I'm used to trolls bitching and bad customer service, but it isn't Mozilla that is doing it. This is a function of your web-page. It is all part of your sign-up process which, undoubtedly, you signed up for with another service. They'll be the ones defaulting the language without options.
As for what you could do about it: You could pass along this problem to them and ask them to fix it.
