After the Unicode conversoon I can still see text with garbled Polish characters, like in this one: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1257801?float=1
My browser's (Mozilla and Firefox, too) setting for this question is iso-8859-2 (Central European), but if I change it to utf-8 the text is still garbled.

In the forums my browser correctly switches to UTF-8 but in Kudoz it still sticks to iso-8859-2.

I have the same problem. The only difference being that in KudoZ it sticks to windows-1250...

Accented characters are not displayed correctly in the fora either, instead there is a diamond shaped question mark. Se the poster's name in the posting "Wordfast training".

I can still see "diamonds" with question marks. I think that proz.com should be smart enough to check in what encoding the browser feeds text to the system, and convert accordingly "on the fly".

As the answer was allready stored in the database (I think, but I shall contact site staff within their working hours) I could not change the encoding.
Nevertheless, I think this are some minor issues within the phase of migrating the whole site to Unicode. Most KudoZ and Fora are working just fine, as far the user are aware of that and set their browser to Unicode. If someone still uses Windows or Latin II encoding, the system is not able to detect this automatically AFAIK.

The fora pages correctly declare the charset in their meta tags, while the Kudoz pages do not declare any charset at all, at least the one with my question does not. It can be checked by viewing the source of the page in the browser and looking for the charset attribute.

It seems, that the process takes some time, until the correction of codepage is saved into the database.
