UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? cannot create new gallery in the Forums

I made the change and received the following error:

ALTER TABLE `ubb`.`ubbt_forums` MODIFY COLUMN `FORUM_SORT_DIR` VARCHAR(4) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL;

I'm on 7.5 - ran the upgrade some time back but almost looks like the upgrade changed the DB charset to something other than English?

Thoughts?
