Hi,

There is a problem with encoding in the BOINC database for forum and private 
messages.

When users write their messages on the native languages (for example in 
Russian, in cyrillic charset), these messages are shown as question 
marks (?????).

The problem is because of BOINC DB tables are non-UTF8 encoded by default.


There is a small patch ;-)

alter database boinc_db default character set = utf8;

alter table user convert to character set utf8;
alter table team convert to character set utf8;
alter table profile convert to character set utf8;
alter table category convert to character set utf8;
alter table forum convert to character set utf8;
alter table thread convert to character set utf8;
alter table post convert to character set utf8;
alter table private_messages convert to character set utf8;
alter table friend convert to character set utf8;


May be there are other tables too.

Nikolay
