Hi!

I am not sure if I´m posting this in the right place. But I have problem I really need help with.

I have just upgraded a site from 4.6.2 to 4.8.0. The site is in swedish and I have experienced that the globalization culture in web.config that has worked best for swedish language has been "iso-8859-1" . I have used it in several sites in earlier versions of DNN. 

But now after upgrading to DNN 4.8.0 I get some weird characters in page title, or module title when updating a page or module settings. The swedish characters Å, Ä, Ö is being replaced by characters as Ã… Ä Ö Ã¥ ä ö . Those are definitively not swedish characters....

If I change to "utf-8" in web.config then it works almost fine, except that in custom modules, or in skins where I have coded swedish characters is being replaced now by a � character. (Yes, a square)

I´m having this problem with two completely different sites, so I guess maybe someone else has got the same problem.

What change has been done in DNN 4.8.0 that is causing this? Does anyone know how to solve it?

I assume, this is caused by the teams effort towards xhtml compliance, I suggest to use UTF-8, that will work with all special characters from various languages and you only need one time to  modify existing skins and content.

I just realized one more problem with this. 
On one page we have the Iframe module, displaying content from an external website, and it is causing errors there too. And those are out of our control.

Isn´t there any way to solve this?
