Thanks, commenting out the DB_CHARSET line in wp-config.php works. But does it still mean there may be a problem in the future?

Is there a way of converting the database to utf8 to avoid that possibility?

I upgraded from 2.9.1 and there was no DB_CHARSET in the old wp-config.php. I’ve also checked in all my old wp-config.php files since November 2008.

What was the old default DB_CHARSET? It is currently set to utf8. What are the other options?
