It seems that " " is not parsed correctly and is shown as plain text. Has this anything to do with the charset? Please help because know half of my site looks very ugly..

Thanks, Fabster

We indeed messed up with the UTF-8 work. We tried a move to UTF-8 in 1.0.3 and then decided to only do it in 1.1. Changes were reverted but the language iso setting was forgotten. We fixed this in 1.0.4 and forgot about the possible consequences. U are right that we should have informed our users about this change. Our apologies !

U can do two things are u change the iso settings in the english langauge file back to UTF-8 or u resave your content items. We are sticking with ISO-8859-1 for the 1.0 series. In your case it might be better to change them back to UTF-8.

If you did write in you script " " and not " " then it is NOT the fault of the update

I also read that there are few bugs in the patch... media manager not working, also read that the read more link dissapears, and other bugs... my site is live, and i cant afford it to be down, or have any problems or glitches...

Can I just copy the Joomla! files over the top of my Mambo directory?

Yes, but we recommend that you try this on a copy of your file system first and remember to backup your files before you do anything.  When you do copy over your existing files, double check that the files are actually being updated and that no transfer errors occurred (eg, errors about permissions).

ublic_html/imagesstories/thumbnails

wasnt it supose to be : images/stories/thumbnails

Note that this site contains a large property database, and thus the database is quite big so as to re-create all the html coding.

DEFINE('_ISO','charset=iso-8859-1');

to

DEFINE('_ISO','charset=utf-8');

in all future 1.0.x versions, including 1.0.4, to avoid database changes. For other languages simultaneously installed, please check the language files, which should all be synchronized on the same character set as is defined above.

All sites which have been designed in 1.0.0, 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 should avoid keeping 1.0.3 and move directly to 1.0.4 asap to avoid further database corruptions (for non-US-ASCII characters). This is because changes made in 1.0.3 (at least in English-language sites) are saved with a different character encoding (utf-8) than before (iso-8859-1). This is only visible for non-US characters, like accented characters and special signs (like tripple point ... etc.).

Please take a look at this thread. You can edit a file, or overwrite one. The choice is yours.
