Blank Posts due to Language setting

Ok, so this took a while to figure out but after upgrading from 1.1.14 to 2.0 Final, some members (including my normal account on the forums) saw that they had Dutch as their default language in their Profile, and changed it to English.

Then people started noticing some Posts were "blank". Just the Body of the message (signatures were showing). And it seemed to be only posts that contained BBC in them.

So, to sum it up, if You post with BBC as Dutch, then switch to English, that post will be blank.


SO, what I'm stuck with is, HOW do I fix this? I'd like to get everyone's profile set to English. And then I suppose update every Post on the board?

I'm assuming this could be done with SQL easy enough but I really suck at SQL but I can execute it well enough :)

Or is there some other way?  At this point, I'm assuming I have posts that are marked as Dutch and English all over the place.

Yes, I got that. Change the default language. Did that. Doesn't help.

I need to update each individual post in the DB.  I can "edit" each post manually and that seems to fix it as well.

So, how do I update ALL user profiles to English and ALL posts in the DB to English?

Sounds like it could be a language problem. (Didn't take much for me to make that guess, did it?)
