Nope, item 2 is still in analisys.
What you can do is to try to change the character encoding of the pages.. By default, JForum uses UTF-8, which, when using together with multipart/form-data, prenvets the special chars to be correctly handled.
I made some tests and noted that, if you set the encoding to some other than UTF-8, like ISO-8859-1, it will work fine.
You can change the encoding in the Config section in the Admin Control Panel, or directly changing the "encoding" key at
WEB-INF/config/SystemGlobals.properties.
But, if you wnat to keep using UTF-8, then open the file
templates/default/user_form.htm and search for the <form> tag. There, you'll see an attibute named "accept-charset" with the value "${encoding}".. Change it to the desired encoding ( like ISO-8859-1 etc ) and
test. Probably it will work.
