   Ok so I was stupid enough as to change at wp-congig the define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”); to define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”utf8_general_ci); because someone told me is what I need to be able to write thai, I did it from ftp and the file changed some words, u know, to something like GhnJIjmklHKL.... I needed to use the wp-config-sample to replace it, and now my wordpress is back as how it was 1 year ago. I guess some other files changed the encode also? Also I cant log in as Admin....

   And yeah Im stupid enough as not having a backup, I lost the one I had from last month.

   Is there any hope left for me? :(

   If I had to guess.... Check the prefix you configured in the wp-config.php file. Make sure it is the one you were using before you replaced the file. Seems like maybe you have two sets of WP tables in your database (with different prefixes, of course).

   Changing encoding will not delete posts.
