Hi,
In SMF2.0, I could change the board names to persian easily, but in 2.1b3, when I save it, it changes to question marks.
Please fix it.
Change your site to UTF8 before upgrading to 2.1 beta
I figured out that I should change the DB to utf-8 when importing.
Thanks though.
Now I need GMT +3:30 timezone. Can I add it myself?
Admin -> Features and Options -> Server timezone
If the DB was not UTF8, the 2.1 upgrader will perform the upgrade to UTF8. You do not have to do the UTF8 conversion before the upgrade.
There *is* an issue in the 2.1b3 upgrader where, if the 2.1 upgrader performed the UTF8 conversion, an appropriate entry is not made in the settings.php file. If this entry is not present:
$db_character_set = 'utf8';
... then add it.
If there are still issues with character set display, this diagnostic utility may help:
