Broken foreign characters - sjmike - 01-10-2020

I'm seeing a lot of European city and venue names that are messed up.  I know it's an database encoding issue.

For example:

This was fixed. I will reimport your database later so that you can check it. If anyone else wants me to reimport their demo databases, please reply here.

Please check now. Encoding fixed

From what I can tell, everything looks accurate now.

Just as an FYI, since you did a database restore I had to reset my password. That worked successfully, I like the new password reset link vs the old insecure method of sending a password in plain text.

I've updated the password encription on the new version. And I'm not a fan of sending passwords via email, a one-time token works better

Bug closed. Imports are good to go if people need them
