AJAX "Quick Edit" and "Quick Reply" doesn't work with special characters

[Valter]

When I edit some post and add some regular characters to it then post can be saved normally.

If I put some special chars like "č" or "ž" or "ć" then after clicking "Save" button nothing happens.

Same thing happens with the Quick Reply function. Just message "Posting Quick Reply - Please Wait". I have wait several minutes but nothing happens. If I refresh the page there is no new post.

vB 3.6 RC2
Apache v1.3.34
PHP 4.4.1
MySQL 4.0.27-standard

Tried to disable all hooks/plugins... didn't solved problem.

Any suggestion?

Go to your
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Disable AJAX Features

Set that to Disable Problematic AJAX Features

Thanks. I'v disabled it but I'm wondering how it worked before with no problems? Is there another way to fix this?

Note: I have no problems posting ćčćčđžš here.

The Quick Reply didn't use AJAX before.
AJAX transmits data in UTF-8, so if your forums character set is something like latin1, there'd be an incompatibility there.

You'd have to change your database and the data in it to UTF-8 for it to work I think.

Some tables or whole database?

[Colin F]

The whole database.

[Valter]

Any idea on how to do it?

ALTER TABLE [tablename] CHARACTER SET utf8; - doesn't change anything.

You'd probably have to code a script that translates all the data, using something like iconv.

3.6 compatible version will be released in the near future.

What is your suggestion ?
Which Script ?

We are saying that you will need to code one, we do not have one.
