   I have a bunch of photo albums of my foreign trips that use foreign characters (e.g. Chinese). They appear to be "???" (question marks) after I import into WordPress. Can we add foreign character support to Fotobook? BTW, i just made a $5 donation to you... :)

   Well I also had this problem and it took me a while to figure it out.
   Basically what you need to do is enter your SQL Database, and edit wp_fb_albums table. Manually change the collation of the rows from latin1_swedish_ci to UTF8 (i use utf8_general).

   The actual rows you need to change are: Name, Description and Location.
   After you do that, you may update your albums.

   Hope that helps,
   R. Landau
