I've set all things properly. How?

1. Upgrade script doesn't work and after launching it forum still is buggy. Polish letters were displayed properly in message body but not properly in subject.

2. Your query doesn't work Twisted Evil

because Polish characters are displayed in latin2, not latin1. Proper query is:
ALTER TABLE replace_with_table_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET latin2;

Now all seems to work OK.

Few words of my comments about FUD.

It's excellent forum script and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to start it for English users / English speaking community. Installation is fast and number of useful options is huge.

Unfortunately I'm quite sure that your script will not be very popular in Poland because:

1. Not all info are translated, i.e. "Show Own Posts" in profile menu, "Access Keys" in help menu or "Syndicate this forum (XML)".

I know that this is minor problem, but it should be corrected. When I find some spare time I'll certainly fix it.

2. English Admin Control Panel and moderator's options, i.e. "Delete All Selected", "Move All Selected".

This is major problem. Your script is far better than very popular phpBB, but many users doesn't speak English. They have to get complete l10n.

3. Database set on latin1 not latin2.

This is huge problem. I'm damn sure that most users have no idea how to run SQL queries and they will not use FUD. I guess that even users who have minor knowledge about phpMyAdmin will not run 51 queries on all tables - it's time consuming.
IMVHO such users should run one script changing all settings to latin2.
