[doublebuser]

Everything matches, everything is UTF8 (since I am running a Russian site). All headers and meta show utf8. The DB is all UTF8…

Could you tell me what function reads users from WP db? I would follow from there.

Example: http://www.ourtx.com/ourtx/forum/topic/43

DB is WP 2.7.1 all UTF8_general_ci where it concerns text fields

Plus, I have a chron job that gets latest posts and prints them on the left side of the website, it gets that user name in Cyrillic just fine.
