Topic: How to handle other charset ?

The templates use <pun_char_encoding> but I can't find where I can setup this.

I would like to do some test with utf8, or if this is really unusable ( sad ) at least latin9 to be able to support euro character (and a few others).

Another question, if I change the charset after an install, do I need to alter the SQL tables as well ?

Re: How to handle other charset ?

The immediate problems related to using UTF-8 is that PunBB will be unable to correctly calculate e.g. the lenght of form fields. It's not the end of the worlds though. Your database will truncate the strings anyway.
