hello,
in the above chat is actually a great pity Mod all the news not from the English speaking area come here to be ignored! For this mod does not work with special characters such as those in Europ. Space are common. UTF8 is just not the default character set of VB! Usually mods work with the character set iso so the usual character set are encoded properly.

Maybe I can enforce my post with an answer, otherwise only remains to uninstall. Too bad really.

Sorry I posted in the 3.7 version by accident

Anyway this chat just auto scrolls even if no one is typing a message ?

There should be a way to switch this off.

REgards

The Vb4 version supports UTF-8, is it possible to have the same feature for this version?

[lombafly]

Solved:
Open gcbos.php and comment @120:

//$message['message'] = utf8_encode($message['message']);

Open your database and set "utf8_unicode_ci" on the message collation.

Thanks in advance.
