Hi,
I have a vbulletin forum, I had some problems in the past, so I had backed up and then restored the database. But after restoration, it shows me some STRANGE characters on some posts. I have to edit and replce those. Why is it happening?

Character set / encoding mismatch
Re: Problem After Restoration
I've recently being transferring a database from an old server to a new one and had the same problem because the previous web developer had not taken his time to set the db collation properly. I had to find some workarounds and convert the collation from swedish to utf8_general_ci with this tool: http://www.phoca.cz/articles/web/how-to ... -database/
