In this new version there are problems with the accents, the ñ and characters. In the chat when you write a ñ is blocked and does not work. Accents appear as a few squares. In admin, the charter was changed to iso-8859-1.

You need to set the correct page encoding in the Web Wiz Forums Configuration Page in the Admin Area.

After you update the page encoding you need to resubmit any data by editing it so that it is saved to the database in the correct page encoding so that it can be rendered correctly by a web browser.

Unfortunately the Chat Room uses JavaScript and AJAX to work which has very limited support for extended ASCII characters sets.

Yesterday when the Forum is entered in the Admin area and stood as iso-8859-1 encoding. Today has been when the evidence in the chat have been made. In his chat (http://forums.webwiz.net) if I write a ñ so blocking for all users.

Some changes have been made to HTML Encode the chat before being displayed using AJAX to avoid the issue of accented characters not displaying correctly.

This update will be in the next release of Web Wiz Forums version 10
