Restrictions when using Cyrillic alphbet

I run my forum using Cyrillic alphabet.
Unfortunately the board encods every cyrillic character with seven standard latin characters, and that as you can imagine eats up a lot of allowed character number in category/forum names, posts etc.

Especialy the problem is with 'Subject' field in posts as it only allows 50 characters. That means I can use only 7 Cyrillic characters to write something in 'Subject' field of the post.

So is it anyhow possible to set forum to nativly use windows-1251 encoding or at least to increase number of allowed characters (at least in 'Subject' field)?

thanx

I'm sorry but your board has to be in English. That rule is in the Tersm Of Service (TOS) Sections 3. c www.proboards.com/tos.html

Best thing to do is convert it all to English or find another message board provider that supports multi-languages.
