Ok, so I decided to start from scratch, and I dumped the new DB
But this time, instead of just creating the table ochipepe_LRforum, I used the following command:
CREATE DATABASE `ochipepe_LRforum` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_ci;
and then injected the backed up DB
When I check the dump, I see the following:
-- MySQL dump 10.10
--
-- Host: localhost Database: ochipepe_LRforum

-- Table structure for table `forum1_bans`

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `forum1_bans`;
CREATE TABLE `forum1_bans` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`username` varchar(200) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,
`ip` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,
`email` varchar(50) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,
`message` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,
`expire` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci;
...
First, somehow it seems SET NAMES is in UTF8, despite my command.
Second, the tables are created as latin1_general_ci, so that should be fine
However, I still have the same problem with my forum: the menus are mangled, the new posts also, but not the old ones.
Now I'm totally lost. Any ideas?
