Hi , this is another Chinese character related problem. After upgrading , I cannot mail to user with Chinese display name. Here is the screenshot , I don't know what it pops up , because it is bad encoded too.
English is not my native language. I try my best to express my thought precisely. I hope you understand what I mean. If any misunderstanding results from culture gaps, I apologize first.
My db is UTF8 encoded , and collations are all utf8_general_ci. The web side encoding is Big5 (generic.php : $ubbt_lang['CHARSET'] = "BIG5"; )

I switched the actual language encoding to UTF-8 and that's when I was able to actually send to people with chinese characters in their name. Well, that and changing htmlentities to htmlspecialchars. We'll be working to use UTF-8 as the default language encoding.

Do you mean that I should also make my web page UTF8-encoded ? So , I have to transfer my language files to UTF8 encoding ? (It is big5 encoded now)

Hi , after I upgrade to 7.1.1 , I still cannot send PMs to user with Chinese Display Name. In 7.0.2 , there is a Javascript popup. But in 7.1.1 , there is no error/warning message.
PS : All my web/db are UTF8-encoded. WEB : UTF8 DB : utf8_general_ci

Could you go in and validate that the value for the "CHARSET" key in "languages/english/genaric.php" is "UTF-8" (by default it is "iso-8859-1")
I am using self-translated Chinese file. In languages/zh_tw_utf8/generic.php : $ubbt_lang['CHARSET'] = "utf8"; It doesn't work. After changed to UTF-8 , still doesn't work.

So then more issues than just charactersets ... IMO whatever change to the pm system that happened in the 7.1 upgrade on the pm system should be rolled back; not being able to message staff/members kinda sucks...
The PM method needs to be redone. A rollback to the old code won't work because there were bugs before as well. It's just a matter of ajax via xml doesn't like the special characters. I need to rewrite it so it just uses plaintext like the preview post feature.
'eh anything to make it work and I'll vote for that route lol... Luckily for us, updating the charset allows me to message my coadmins, so it's not forum threatening; but for others it's not so lucky
Hi , it seems the problem comes from function checkUser(user) of pt.js It seems unable to handle special characters correctly. Because of this issue , I still cannot upgrade my community from UBBT 6.5 to 7.1
I think you should release a non-ajax version ASAP. Thank you very much.
