Forum converted to utf-8 encoding

The forum has officially been converted to use utf-8 encoding. This should make the exchange of new NWC 2.75 notation clips via the BBC CODE tags work correctly and consistently for all.

Forum just restored from backup

During this process, we had a little double encoding accident, which required restoring the forum from backup. I had to manually restore the last few posts, so there might be a little quirkiness with these few posts.

Everything should be good now.

Perhaps not. See: Quickly Set Visibility for Selected Items

In the Code: (php) block is this little gem:
Quote
$clip = new NWC2Clip('php://stdin');
and it is not the only one. It seems that single quotes have been converted to HTML Entities.

PHP won't like that ...
I have fixed many, but not all of my affected posts.

Thanks for the report.

I updated the code highlighting mechanisms to properly parse ' entities. Since my fix was very narrow, there might be other issues. If you notice other issues like this, please post here.
