   Thanks for downloading the plugin. The plugin takes the text from the textbox, applies htmlentities and then uses it in the wp_insert_post function which leads me to belive the error is in the use of wp_insert_post. Having searched in the support forums for this problem I think the posts at
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp_insert_post-with-special-utf8-characters
   may help.

   The person asking the question there seems to have the same problem. The problem seemed to be that the code
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');
   was missing from their wp-config file.

   Could you check whether these lines of code are in your wp-config file?

   Thanks,
   Dave

   Thanks for your response Dave.
   i've checked my wp-config file and it is exactly as you say it should be.

   i've deactivated all of the other plugins for just in case but the problem still exists.

   the encoding problem only apears on the question itself. The title appears fine without any problems.

   regards
   Nikos

   Sorry about the delay in reply.
   I'm not too sure about the problem but as I said before it seems to be something to do with the way the plugin implements wp_insert_post. I don't have too much experience with encoding. If you find a solution please post.

   Sorry I can't be of more help,
   Dave

   Hopefully version 1.2.5 has now fixed this problem.

   It seems it was to do with the call to htmlentities when the text of the question is added in addquestion.php
