Hello.

I suggest to add CHATSET to the forum!!! It haven't yet!?!?

I suggest this charset "charset=iso-8859-2". If you don't like it just create dinamic option when can user (admin) select by admin area right charset for some forum...

The problem with setting a character set is that if people from a non wetern character set try to install the forum on their site it will not function correctly.

Trying to have an admin option to set the character set would not work either as the user of non wastern character sets would have problems actually using the admin section to change it.

The simplest solution is don't set it at all, that way it's upto the browser to decide.

Then if someone places the forum on a non wastern site, nearly all users will be use to character set and have their browsers defaulted to it.

You can of course just edit the header.asp file and add in your own character settings if you wish, which again is the simplest option.

Ok.

But some browser don't set correct charset and charecter, simbol is not correct display. If admin when install forum on website decided which charset will use, it is problem resolved about that.
