ISO-8859-1 is soooo primitive. (Not to mention that sticking with it really makes no sense in this era of 2K/XP/international_Unicode_badger goodiness.)

I couldn't tell you the specifics. On my Apache server, it was as simple as changing the DefaultCharset setting to UTF-8 (since ASCII's a subset of UTF-8, it shouldn't require any rewrites of pages). Jason would probably know the specifics for this site.

O_o, just curious on why you think I know more than the server owner/admin?

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8?
I'm looking for more instances of ISO-8859-1 right now.

Umm, aren't you the PHPBB2 guy? (I keep seeing these "<VxJasonxV>This feature will be in phpBB version something or other</VxJasonxV>," so I thought you were more involved with the server than most others on the team.)

phpBB2 yes, but Apache =/= phpBB2.
There is a phpBB change to be made though.
phpBBroot/language/lang_english/lang_main.php:
$lang['ENCODING'] = 'iso-8859-1'; -> $lang['ENCODING'] = 'utf-8';
The title lives on  .
