This caused me to lose a bit more hair (not much left).

The attached file modifies the import process to process kanji, etc, provided these are being handled in the form of extended html entities. (This is the default behaviour, as far as I can tell, but I'm not an expert on utf8 and the like.)

If you want to give it a try, be my guest. I'd appreciate a report. Just replace this file in your forum/includes directory. It doesn't change the export file; just processes the import file with a little more intelligence.

NB: This will only work if your php installation supports the *mbstring* extension (you can check by going to vb/admin/maintenance/phpinfo and scrolling down to look for that section).
