If the config file, has the $config['database']['encoding'] been changed? That's really the only thing that could have changed if you've reverted back to an old file. Other than this, check the language files for your forum, and try converting the database to UTF8 in the AdminCP => Tools.

$config['database']['encoding'] = 'utf8';

help help help ???
Possibilities:
- Make sure MySQL is set up for multi-lingual support and make sure you're using the correct encoding (in your case, UTF-8) for the MySQL DB
- Make sure your browser supports the correct character set (ie UTF-8)
- Make sure your language files specify UTF-8 as the character set (check /inc/languages/<yourlanguage>.php)
- You said your config.php is fine, so this shouldn't be an issue

Also, if you've converted, make sure the conversion didn't go bad, ie the correct stuff is stored in the DB.

God, be patient! Seriously, continuosly asking for help makes us less likely to help you. We all have lives and families, and most of us have jobs.

And like Yumi said, make sure that you're database has the right content.
