Hello.
This is my current settings (after installation):

use fudforum
Database changed
mysql> show variables like 'character%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | latin1 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | utf8 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
8 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Can I fully convert database to utf8?
using mysqldump:
sv@server:~$ mysqldump --set-charset --default_character_set=latin1 fudforum -u root|sed "s~latin1~utf8~" >~/fudforum.dump

then creating another database with default charset utf8.
Changing in admincenter the database to new one, after that doing check consistency and SQL table optimiser
then look to "???????????" on index page.

What is wrong?
