Hello people. I 've been using iso-8859-7 in my General Configuration Charset option until now, but lately I've bought a commercial brodge for IPB and Joomla. And for this to work, the IPBs database must be converted to UTF-8 first. When I see the tables content in phpMyAdmin, greek characters are question marks etc..

I know I must export the database and change it's encoding with some proccess so the greek will be displayed right, but i dont know the exact way to do this.

Notes: I changed the databases' and tables collation to utf-8 from latin_swedish_ci. The forum's charset is still 8859-7, because when I tried to change it to utf-8 everything was displayed as questionmark chars (u know), that should mean that all the data are insterted in my db as iso-8859-7 and it needs convertion to utf-8.

Thanks in advance :)

This is a Tech support question.

I would first suggest that you submit a ticket to your client center area to get your group changed to +Customer and then post for help in the Peer to Peer support forum.

The gentleman above likely does not have a valid ipb license. He sent me a pm to try to get me to create a post for him. Likely using an ILLEGAL Nulled Version.

That's a little unfair, I think.

But to the OP, we are not really allowed to help you out here because of that possibility - even if we could, I would strongly recommend submitting a ticket anyway.

Unfair? Warranted. take note of how he is not even going to try to defend himself. I replied to his Private Message, He did not even reply. Also note that before today I Don't even know this guy.
