In addition to the link I just posted above, have a quick read through the introductory paragraphs (before the TOC) of this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnicodeIF I change it back to 8859-1then in next upgrade it will return to UTF-8 and I'll have to reset ea time...
Just thinking out loud.. really what would the best thing to do?
To address this issue specifically:
That setting should not even be within the language file settings, it should be a site-configuration / primary-setting. It will be moved out of the language files and into the correct settings page with the next UBB.threads release.
With that change, you may only need to verify that it is correctly set for your site ONCE (as it will be a new setting) and then not have to deal with it again.I believe this is the correct way forward, unless someone can add more input to this discussion, to point out something I am not seeing.
