hello, my website is chinese gbk based, but I think yours default is charset is set to UTF-8.

so when visit by gbk posts character is fine here, but discuz interface or menu character goes bad unreadable.

if visit by UTF-8, discuz interface or menu character is fine, but all posts character goes bad unreadable.

how to set charset from uft-8 back to chinese gbk. thanks.
