Hi,
I'm trying to convert from PunBB 1.2 and I would like to know which option I am supposed to select as "Table Encoding" knowing that my DB appears as "latin1_swedish_ci" ?
I have tried UTF8 and various other options but I have always problems with special caracters (my board is in french).
I tried to run some tool I found on the Internet to convert my DB to UTF8 but it seems to break the post import process.
I also tried to upgrade the DB to PunBB 1.3 because it is supposed to convert it to UTF8 but I have the same problem during the import of posts.
Any idea?
Thanks
EDIT: The PunBB 1.3 upgrade process seems to mention ISO8859-1 as table format for the legacy board but I can't find it in the list of the merge system
