MyBB Community Forums

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I'll post it anyway.

I just noticed that, even though my board's been set to UTF8 since it was introduced as standard to MyBB, the actual database itself wasn't changed to UTF8 (only the tables within it). Perhaps there's a reason why not, but I don't see it.

ALTER DATABASE `database_name` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci

many hosts have just one database for all tables (not exclusively mybb - that's why mybb tables use a prefix), so mybb may not be entitled to change the whole database just for itself.

Ohh right, that makes sense. Guess I should just delete this, then? ;]

Edit: Couldn't delete it if I wanted to. o_o
