Chinese encoding
I have added Vanilla 1.1.3 to my server and its running well, but ive been trying to add Chinese to it and am having encoding problems. If I type Chinese in I get question marks and if i try to change the language of the forum all of the words just group together and x's appear instead of numbers.
I read up and I changed some of the code in the setting.php and it made no diiferences.
So I checked my phpmyadmin and found all the files in my database are latin1_swedish_ci NOT UTF8. If I change them to UTF8 will it fix my problems?
Will it damage my forum if I give it a go?

Everything you need to know on this matter is there: Characters encodings, the UTF-8 conundrum
If you read and understood it, you should be on rails.
a last note: be sure to use an utf-8 chinese pack.
@bclakmon: are you so lost that you can't find it by yourself? !
