Topic: Encoding
There are some forums on the punbb with the language coding other then ISO-8859-1. I think it will be cool to have a possibility to set special encoding for each forum.
P.S. Sorry 4 my english 
Re: Encoding
It's not as simple as it sounds. The character encoding applies to the whole page and not the just the post contents. It's a problem with all forums I know of and I don't believe there is a solution at the moment.

Re: Encoding
Why not use utf all thru the bbs?

Re: Encoding
Because PHP doesn't support utf8 natively and neither does MySQL prior to 4.1 (or something).

Re: Encoding
Yes, you're right. But I think it's the time to think about a full-utf8-support PunBB
Until now, after many days play with punBB & MySQL UTF8, I think it's possible

Re: Encoding
You can put UTF-8 into MySQL 3.x and 4.0 without a problem. It still work. You simply don't have access to some fancy functions. Besides, MySQL 4.1 is what... 2 years old now ? Time to move on

It's possible right now. Set the charset to utf-8, encode the locale strings into utf-8, for the most part it works. A full support of utf-8 would be nice though, and even more nicer to set utf-8 as the default charset (it would solve most of the non-english issues).

Yes, agree with you (t'as raison).

Re: Encoding
Yes, I absolutely agree. Default utf-8 support for all PunBB future versions.
Of course, converting PunBB 1.2.11 to UTF-8 is quite easy, especially if the server runs PHP 5.x and MySQL 5.x.
It is even not that difficult to have it as "real" XHTML by sending application/xhtml+xml in the header (for browsers that support it, of course).
