Direct Category Links and non-English characters

I just realized that with direct category links enabled the one forum I have with a non-English title doesn't work.

/forums/#図書館

turns into

/forums/#%E5%9B%B3%E6%9B%B8%E9%A4%A8

and the it doesn't focus on the category. Is there a way to fix it? My board is made to handle non English characters and I keep non English characters in URLs.

And this works correctly if you disable category links?

Well, it works correctly because if category links are off, it'll just go to /f#/ like it should. I can't test it with forum categories, but when I used to have usernames in URLs, Asian characters were kept and worked.

Hello,

please try to modify functions_vbseo_seo.php file:
find:

PHP Code:

$nametitle = vbseo_filter_text($fv['title']); 


and comment it out:

PHP Code:

//$nametitle = vbseo_filter_text($fv['title']); 


Thanks Oleg, however that made the forum categories not do anything upon beign clicked (it removed the #[forum_title] from what I saw).

Please change it to:

PHP Code:

$nametitle = $fv['title']; 


This makes the URL show up correctly, however it doesn't jump to the category or validate. It also makes another section not work because the forum category title begins with a #. However the section that begins with # works if vbseo_filter_text() is left on.

Could you please open a ticket with ftp access for troubleshooting?
