    We are experiencing a problem with the Greek language. Do you expect it to be fixed soon? (continuing the conversation from vBulletin.org forum).

    And heres the text we get after posting or PMing in Greek from the app:

    I should notice that the greek language problem occurs on usernames during the login, and in the message subject. There is no problem in the thread title that Greek language comes out ok.

    Problem fixed!

    Hope same thing works in your case.

    Thanks for replying Mihalis.

    I'm afraid I cannot understand what the problem might be. Should I change my board's encoding? I don't know if I'm able to do so. Is there not any option to change the encoding tapatalk is using to display the messages?

    Thank you,
    Ilias

    No you do not have to change your boards encoding.

    You must find in your server the folder mobiquo/include/ and edit the file vbulletin_common.php.

    Find:

    $str = @mb_convert_encoding($str,'HTML-ENTITIES','UTF-8');

    and comment it like this:

    //$str = @mb_convert_encoding($str,'HTML-ENTITIES','UTF-8');

    or delete it.

    Can you pm me the thread url which has greek issue. If you can provide a ftp access for mobiquo/ folder, it will be better for solve the issue.

    I had the same issue but this fix corrected it.
    Thanks for the tip. Removing that line worked perfectly for me. My greek collation forum seems to be working.
