During upgrading from 2.8 to 2.8.1 I got a message about changing a language from russian-1251 to russian. After upgrading all messages become abracadabra (all interface messages are ok). At mysql charset admin menu item I got a recommendation to convert tables to utf8 - have done, nothing changed.

Have I missed something?

I think the new theme uses UFT-8 as charset while the stored messages using the charset of the old theme. One way to fix this should be converting the messages to UTF-8 using "Compact Messages" in the Admin Control Panel. It is recommended to make a backup of the files before - in case something goes wrong.

By the way, is it possible that the server here at fudforum.org doesn't send mail notifications anymore? I received the last on March 21st.

Thanks! - I have missed "Compact Messages" contains another big function - messages converting Smile All is OK now.

P.S Indeed, new messages notifications are resting somewhere Laughing

Sorry, I was too fast. After compacting (and converting) messages from russian-1251 to utf forums messages are OK, but private post messages are still abrakadabra. It seems, I still missed something Smile

Here's a fix: http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/chngview?cn=11936

A reconversion will probably mess up your messages. So, remove the first part (conversion of normal messages) before you run it.

Is it correct to (temporary) delete from patched compact.php all code from 
/* Normal Messages */
till 
/* Private Messages */
? I'm not PHP guru Smile

Looks about right, just keep the lines that define $tbl and
$stm:

$tbl =& $DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX;
...
$stm = time();

Well done Andrew! I realize the UTF-8 conversion is a pain in the behind, but it's well worth the effort.

It isn't a problem of any kind - rather it is something very tiny: sometimes search results at the end of a message citation has something unprintable - I have attached an image to illustrate it.

index.php?t=getfile&id=5607&private=0

And, naudefj, I'm agree with you - UTFization is a good thing Smile
