You could try changing the LCID in your common.asp file.

For more info on LCID see the page below:-

by the way, how to fouce web wiz forums configration to everything to "uft8-unicode",

I presume write to mysql topics & threads must be uft8 format, because mysql everything is set to "uft8-unicode", I using navicat for mysql client to operate mysql, encoding betwin unicode & chinese, something like ????????????

When using mySQL with ASP you have to use the myODBC driver, it maybe this which doesn't support UTF-8 as Web Wiz Forums can use UTF-8 fine with other supported databases.

Try installing the newer myODBC 5.1 database driver on the server and edit in notepad the database/database_connection.asp file and change it from the default myODBC 3.51 driver to myODBC 5.1 driver.

If this doesn't work try using SQL Server instead.

Am I missing the point here, or you trying to run web wiz asp applications on a server that does not support the software?
ASP Application/Script won't run!

This seems to be the most common problem that people have.

ASP need's to be run through a web server, hence the name Active Server Pages, no Server, no Active Pages. If you are not familiar with ASP please read through the article on, What is Active Server Pages (ASP)?

If you are finding that you can't get an ASP script to run on your web space provided by your web space provider then check with them that they fully support ASP.

ASP is completely different to CGI and Pearl, so having support for CGI does not mean that you have support on your web space for ASP.

How can I tell if my web space supports ASP?
To be able to tell if your web space provider supports ASP, the easiest way is to look at any FAQ or support pages that your hosting provider may have, or contact them by email or phone and ask them

The type of "bug" you seem to be describing seems weird
