If you're on a Mac and writing for a web server that deals correctly with international characters and using a browser that deals correctly with international characters by way of software that deals correctly with international characters, you can hold down option to get the special character or modifier you want. For example, to get ü, do Option-u to get the umlaut and then u to get the u.
Way the third:
If you're on a VT-220 or similar terminal, hold down "Compose Character" and type the letter you want and a modifying piece of punctuation. For example, "ç" is "Compose Character" + ( "c", "," ).
Way the fourth:
If you're on a PC, get out your DOS manual (you do still have the manual from MS-DOS 3.3, right?) and look at a table of Microsoft's extended version of ASCII. Look up the character you want and hold down ALT while typing its corresponding three-digit decimal number on the numeric keypad.
I'm cringing. My ISP switched to Squirrelmail as its webmail application, and that's when it started crashing left and right. Maybe Mr. Peas will support it better than they do.
Stop saying "crash". Say "fail" or state the actual problem. A "crash" is a particular kind of failure, and you weren't seeing it. Writing "crash" makes people who might otherwise help you or give you information want to strangle you instead.
You should stop taking the whole thing so seriously. I mean, it's good to argue about it, especially when drunk, because when drunk people think that things are important, or that they have something valid to say, you can laugh at them. Like, get them to argue about religion or politics or pro-wrestling, then sit back and watch the show.
Ooh, ooh, I thought of a joke!
"I'm sorry, we don't allow anti-war people into the bar. They start too many fights."
You're right. My Trickster nature demands I sit back and laugh at this whole thing.
Except that I'm pissed off about a lot of things right now, and this war is a good thing to feed those other angers into. So please keep the pro-war people away from me this weekend. :)
i woulda used one iffn i was able to do anything that night but i was not. i've got to dance on h.p. lovecraft's grave someday. preferrably with a nigger who owns a house in PVD. THERE WERE ZERO (0) IRAQI HIJACKERS INVOLVED IN 911.

Please tell me, how do you type accents over vowels and curlicues under C's so that they are displayed correctly in a forum such as LiveJournal?

Viddy character entity references. Frex, "ç" is "ç". This works most universally.

It was called IMP.
Otto's company no longer needs IMP, therefore IMP does not exist.
I'm the only one in the world that thinks IMP should still be available . . . unless you and some others can convince him otherwise.
