Hi,
In some of my threads, when I type a '£' sign, it comes up as a question mark in a diamond.

Any ideas?
Try this:

Admin CP > Tools & Maintenance > System Health > UTF-8 Conversion.

I get this message: Your current setup of MyBB is not setup to use this tool yet. Please see the wiki for more information on how to set it up.
Open up inc/config.php and make sure there's a line like this:

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

Working now thanks.
Glad I could help. Smile
