When i was using phpbb i have had encoding windows-1251 on macedonian language, now i use smf and the encoding is utf-8 also on macedonian language and whit the converson all i get is hieroglyphs nothing else.... The menu and all the default thing in the smf anr correct and all the inported thing are hieroglyphs. How can i fix this...

Did you convert from phpbb with SMF running UTF-8?

The way I see to fix this, is to manually edit the collations and change them to the windows-1251 collation in the SMF database. Then after that convert your forum to SMF.
Then the convert to UTF-8 will still work for you :)

You can send me the download link for a copy of your phpBB database via PM and I will see if I can make the converter work with windows-1251, like I've done with other charsets. I also need to know the URL of your phpBB forum (go ahead and send it to me via PM too, if you prefer).

    Please do not PM me with support requests unless I invite you to.
