Topic: UTF8 problems with 1.2.17 and PostgreSQL 8.3

Hey,

After enabling debug mode, i get an error like this:

'ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xa3 HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".'

I found only 2 posts related to this error on this board, and couldn't find a workaround.
Don't really care about UTF, but it's annoying that users get errors when posting; is there a way to say silently convert UTF8 chars to null or something (ugly hack)?
