Yes, vBulletin has good UTF-8 support (if set up correctly). Yo must have done something right.

importing old forum

Actually, that isn't utf-8.

We had issues when it came to using impex to take our old forum and import it over into a utf-8 database. The import works fine when left at the defaults, and still handles multiple languages well.

Actually, there are ways to convert vBulletin from non-UTF to UTF-8 - the [url=http://www.desktoppublishingforum.com/bb/]Desktop Publishing Forum[/ur] (where I am a regular) recently upgraded their vBulletin and went to UTF-8; it took some fiddling, but it worked. The admins found the needed information on the vBulletin support forums - you might want to poke around there. You could import first, then convert, maybe.

Trying quote and reply... characters display properly in the reply window (using code-only simple editor).
