Hi, I'm new user of vBulletin and I have (maybe very pity) problem.

I need my forum in UTF-8 encoding (because it's Czech forum and we have characters like 'ěščřžýáíé...".

I've installed vBulletin and everything was alright except encoding. Original EN language has ISO-8859-1 but I need UTF-8 for Czech (maybe ISO-8859-2 - but I wanna special chars too). So I've created new language in vBulletin Admin CP with UTF-8 but everything messed up. When I create post in this settings everything looks goods but a lot of chars are bad (e.g. 'í'). I've opened MySQL and tables have utf8_general_ci. So please what should I do to have my forum in UTF-8? thanks a lot...

Are you sure that your .xml files are also utf8 encoded? Try converting them (e.g. with iconv) and change the xml-headers.

No, I didn't change them (but if I'm importing just English language it don't have to be a problem?)
