Dmian Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Any idea why a lot of foreign characters got corrupted in the database? I noticed this a couple of weeks ago. The name of the international forums got weird characters. Some bullet lists have weird characters too (for example at the top of the "Request Expert Infantryman Status" forum). Any change in the DB recently? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnyt17 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I noticed this as well. I just ended up changing my character encoding to Western ISO-8859-1 to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin, what browser do you use? The page source is declared as UTF-8. Could it be that the DB is encoded in ISO-8859-1?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.7 Yup I think you're right. It's probably how the DB is encoded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
