Install error, no Gallery menus

[sduford]

Hello folks, just bought SMF Gallery Pro and instlled it on SMF 1.2.1 with no other packages installed. Install went fine wiith no errors reported.

When I go to the admin menu, the Gallery link in hte left bar is blank. In the permission screen, all the gallery items are blank. Sounds like a missing strings issue.

How can I fix that?

I switched my server settings from English-utf8 to English and it fixed the problem. Are her any drawbacks to this?

No drawbacks really. UTF is mainly used if your forum is using other languages other than English if you are just using english then it is fine.
