What about the language encoding setting in vBulletin ? Did you change that too?
P.S.
I think you forgot the third slash here:
Code:
perl -i -pe 's/DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1/DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8' yourboard.sql
As it gives the error..
Code:
Substitution replacement not terminated at -e line 1.
Therefore the right line would be:
Code:
perl -i -pe 's/DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1/DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8/' yourboard.sql
Am I on the right track here? Or completely off?
