Message_prune.php will create a fatal error in case messages are being pruned from a forum containing "Umlaute" (öäüÖÄÜ) in its name. Any remedy?

if I would have, I would have answered as well.
Now I had a chance. Seems like the javascript escape and PHP rawurldecode are incompatible with each other.
Try to change the following:
open <forum-folder>/include/admin/message_prune.php
replace all "escape" calls by "encodeURIComponent".

Sorry, I accidentally did not follow this discussion.. I renamed the troublesome forums in the meantime but will soon apply the changes. I will reply as son as I can!
