I'm migrating Mybb 1.6 to VB4( then to VB5).
However the multilingual strings are getting converted to ????.
It seems on default VB4 installation the table collation is set to latin1_swedish_ci.
Also if I change the collation of table to utf8_general_ci the multilingual string is getting imported correctly.
Can I go ahead and change the collation of all the tables to utf8_general_ci as explained in the link?( With command: ALTER TABLE mytable CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 )
Will it cause any problems in VB5?
