Hi Hristo,

From time to time, some Spanish language characters (such as ñ, tildes, etc.) were converted into squares as shown in the following picture.
I can do to fix this?

You probably need to tweak the charset setting in the language file (lang directory) or the mysql charset/collation. What are their values?

Try this. Below the mysql_select_db command in index.php, put this:
Code:

mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");

Let me know if it fixes the problem. If it does, add it to your admin file. Note: (it may fix the problem on newly added posts, but not fix older ones). Let me know.

Hristo,

I added this line in the file index.php and when I tried again to enter forum gave me this error.

I removed the command line, and went back to upload the index.php file to the server and still continues to show me this error?

what should I do?
thanks
Sergio.

The error basically says it cannot open seo-board_options.php. Do you have that file in the same folder as the index.php?

already solved the problem with these error messages.
Respect to the characters, there is nothing to do. I needed to modify the characteristics of the messages that had already been written. With the new messages will not have this problem.

thanks,
Jesser

The problem is in the utf8 chars. There are chars that are multi byte and seo-board was not build to handle them.
