[TYPO3] problem with chc_forum (UTF-8 encoding)

[Gideon So]

Hi Amiran,

	First of all, you can find answers about chc_forum in 
typo3.project.forum list.

	There is a bug concern about utf-8 international characters (chinese in 
my case) in the  lastest version of chc_forum. Please use 1.4.4. It 
should all fine with utf-8 characters.
