I am a Russian user, and every time I go to the section for Russian Russian text does not display correctly because charsete set ISO-8859-1. Is it possible to include support for UTF-8 by default or even remove the charset attribute.
В опциях форума (Мой кабинет) включите русский язык.
Спасибо. Включил.
This is an old one. We all hoped that the Forums would be all Unicode/UTF-8 in the new version. But it still sends that it is ISO-8859-1 in it’s HTTP protocol to the browser. When you overrule that in the browser with UTF-8 all is shown correct, thus proving that it is UTF-8 in fact.

Also when in the Russian forum, if you select Russian as the language (at
the bottom of the page), it should show properly.

Yes, it does, but in that case it sends to the browser that t is UTF-8. It should send that also when in the english language. Then all character would be correct in all cases.
And the language burtton would then only do what it should do: displaying translations of headings/buttons and the like.
I used all the possibilities of the language button and checked what the browser says it got as encoding from the server:
. english: ISO-8859-1
. french: ISO-8859-1
. hungarian: ISO-8859-2
. russian: UTF-8
. chinese: UTF-8
In all cases the same characters are send and the russian text in this thread is unreadable except when in the russian or chinese “translation”.
Thus when the server would simply tell “I send UTF-8” then everybody could read everything on these Forums correct irrespective of the language used.
The language button should imho only show the correct translations of buttons, menus, headings, etc (and have NO influence on the encoding). It does so except for chinese where english is shown!!
My conclusion:
As a bypass for the OP (and many others that roam these Forums regardless of the language used in a subforum) to use Chinese from the language button (down-right). It will show all forums menus, etc in english and tell the browser it sends UTF-8. It willl send UTF-8 (as it does allways) and thus everything will be correct.
(I hope you will understand that this bypass is hilarious :\ )
In the meantime I would again like to stress that the forums software should stop sending incorrect character encoding information to the browser!
