Hello,
I have just purchase VB and prepare to install. I will later on import old phpbb database from the actual forum on the site.
The thing is I need to set utf8 encoding to support "ă î ş ţ" used in my language. Old database is encoded latin1_swedish_ci ...unfortunately.
I then need to import 60k of messages into it from old forum.
If I import latin1 on utf8 will be ok?
Should I import latin to latin and then change to utf?
All this encoding stuff is new for me so some tips will be well appreciated before installation. I did manage to change utf8 encoding to a clean install of vb.
Many thanks ,
