Finally I got to the end of reading the two treads for this template. I've learn almost everything I needed to know to mod it. So I urge users (including newbees like myself) to take time to read it, rather than making this tread longer.

I really really love the design and simplicity of this template. Thanks for creating it and for sharing it.

I have a question that several users has asked before without any response to it.
Would it be possible to put the column, that includes "latest treads, forum stats, and another section", on the right side of the Categories rather than the left side?

My second question is about the charset. My discussion board is in french and relies on UTF-8 to render proprely. When going into a particular topic we see "User Title : blablabla , Join date : February 1999, Posts : xxx". My problem is about the Month that show up bad. So normaly it should be "F?vrier", but it shows up "f�vrier ". Where could I correct this?

Here's a look of my discussion board with the template. Please note that I needed it to be low contrast since it's a photography forum, so I took out the red.
