Hey guys,

How to do Your database encoding is 'utf8', should be 'utf8mb4'. Please update your MyBB to use UTF-8 everywhere ?

Hello ?

A simple search will give you this:

Pay attention to this post in that thread.  Lots of folks miss it:

And backup your database before you start anything.  And close your forum.

If you use the AdminCP / Tools and Maintenance / UTF-8 Conversion tab, make sure to edit /inc/config.php to the new coding.

/**
 * Database Encoding
 *  If you wish to set an encoding for MyBB uncomment
 *  the line below (if it isn't already) and change
 *  the current value to the mysql charset:
 *  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/charset-mysql.html
 */

$config['database']['encoding'] = 'utf8mb4';
