First, update to the very latest trunk. There is a chance that you might have a user meta item for some users called 'display_name'. This will be stomping on the real setting in the user table. Use this SQL query to clear out the bad data.</p> <pre><code>DELETE FROM bb_usermeta WHERE meta_key = &#39;display_name&#39;;</code></pre> <p>Once you've updated to the latest trunk and done that, you should be able to use any UTF-8 character in display names. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username#post-19448 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:47:50 +0000 meitershaker 19448@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@ sam<br /> "In any case, the solution in the future is to change your display name after registration.

In WP, I can tell the system to encode the page in ISO-8859-1 (which is necessary in this case), in bbpress I don't know how. I declare the doctype and the meta-content-charset in the theme's header, but as opposed to the WP pages, the bbpress generated ones are encoded as UTF-8. Looking at the page properties in Firefox, I can see "encoding: UTF-8" and "meta information... charset:ISO-8859-1".</p> <p>Can someone help, please?
