Hi,

I my current 3.6.8 VBB set at ISO by my stupid mistake initially. Now, I need to have UTF8 in order to be compatible with my new frontpage. I must keep every post.

I did use some traditional method to convert from ISO-UTF8. The content is ok but the passwords have problem coz it seems to be linked with the username which encrypted in ISO.

Can I use Impex to convert from ISO to UTF8? If so, do i need to do anything extra? THanks for all the help

You can force the encoding to utf8 in ImpExConfig, though if the passwords are change or can't be imported I'd suggest this :
