Title: Blank posts after migration
Post by: dsanchez on December 25, 2014, 08:45:21 AM
The current production site
http://curefans.com/index.php/topic,900.0.html

The testing site with SMF 2.1.x
http://curefans.com/curefans2/index.php/topic,900.0.html

notice how some posts are blank. is this because of UTF-8 or something?

apparently its because those posts contain special characters. any way to fix this?

Did you tried to convert your 2.1 forum to UTF-8 ?

thanks, post are now there again but with some strange characters.

however, my current smf forum (2.0.9) is already UTF-8. therefore I shouldn't have had problems not?
