MyBB Community Forums

I have version 1.6.8 installed, and I'm still working on settings before I open the forum.

I set the default language to be Portuguese-Brazil

I tried to change the contents of the Terms of Use, but after I did it, all text inside the member.lang.php started to show funny signs where the special characters of the language should be.

SAMPLE:

Quote:Ao se registrar, voc� concorda em s� postar material ver�dico, que respeite valores morais e �ticos, que seja respeitoso aos outros e em linguagem civilizada e educada, al�m de respeitar as leis vigentes.

I was changing the contents of the Terms of Use (member.lang.php) through CP (Admin panel). They show ok if I open the /inc/languages/portugues_brasil/member.lang.php itself, though...

Also, if I force the browser to read the page as 'Ocidental (ISO-8859-41), the "Terms of Use" content text becomes ok, but the rest of the forum text becomes funny instead...

Any idea how to fix this? It should be encoded as UTF-8 all over, I don't know why it's different from the rest of the forum...

Anyone, help please????

You should edit the file with Notepad++ using UTF8 without BOM option. Grab yourself a new copy of the language file and give it another go. Also you should update to MyBB 1.6.9.

Thank you Kaeden!

I have just updated to MyBB 1.6.9 and it messed the theme completely, it just won't show anymore... It goes back to the default, even if I try to force the theme on users.

So I guess I'll just have to give up on the theme. I am trying other themes and I have managed to change the text through CP and it worked well, as it should... Go figure... I guess it's something inside the theme code then...
