This is a MySQL "problem". Please look at:

Guys, I found a solution to this problem. I had this on my site as well. If you have phpymyAdmin with your host provider do the following:

1. Open vb_phrase in your VB database
2. Click on structure
3. Select the change icon next to "varname"
4. Change the COLLATION to latin1_swedish_ci

This will fix the problem.

it's fixed in the latest version of mysql anyway I believe.
