Logged into the Japanese fourms?

I was reading though a few roughly translated topics in the Japanese forum (lol google translate) after I was done reading though a few topics (as I figured Japanese don't seem to like when you speak to them in Romaji because its hard to understand or even rude) I closed tabs & went on other sites.

I come back to fix my profile, only to see I'm in the Japanese part, I click the link in English POL but it still directs me to Japanese and since this PC can't display Hiragana & Katakana all I see is boxes with numbers in them.

is this a bug from reading Google translated pages? how do I get back into english?

What does

• http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php

take you to?

You should see the forums in the order:

• Japanese
• English
• French
• German
• Screenshot Caption Contest
• Moogle's Law Contest

This is what I see. and any topic I go in (ANY language) I see the boxes rather then english.

And when you scroll down? :S

(Sorry for the late reply.)

I see those but Dev tracker & Hot topics is Japanese

Sorry for taking so long to answer; been away~

Does it still happen and does it happen even if you click the "dev tracker" button to the right from the "English Forums" title?

Also to make sure, did you already check what "Forum Language" is actually set to in your "Settings" -> "General Settings" -> "Miscellaneous Options"?

One thing I might try after making sure that is set to English, I'd clear the cache of the browser if nothing else seemed to work.

Might have to clear your cookies too.

It was set in "English NA" but everything was Japanese but when I went & chose it again it reset itself back to English.
