This will happen if the text is stored in the DB as HTML Entities (something like া instead of the actual symbol).

Can you check your thread title column in phpMyAdmin and see how they're stored there? For the record, here's a screenshot of phpMyAdmin's thread title column when UTF-8 titles will NOT work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fw1pu7uppd3srxz/Screenshot 2013-12-26 13.12.43.png - if it looks like this, your screenshot is correct.

Is it possible to fix this UTF-8 titles board issue?

 

[Fillip H.]

Not without changing the collation of your database, which may cause irreparable corruption of your old thread titles.

How to changing the collation database? Does this tool can help ? UTF-8 Coallition Conversion - vBulletin.org Forum , My guide to converting to UTF-8 - vBulletin Community Forum

They might, but please do bear in mind that you need to test this thoroughly on a backup site. You should not attempt to do this on your live site until you're 100% sure it will not break any of your legacy content.

How to remove Thread Title from URL ? Only show thread ID Not Thread Title.

Ex: /f1/f10/Thread ID.html

 

[Fillip H.]

Go to the DBSEO ACP -> Forum URLs -> Find the thread URL format -> Choose Custom -> use something like [forum_path]/[thread_id].html

Is there any solution? Can i only utf8 data stored at database? With new thread how to stored as utf8 data?

 

[Fillip H.]

There is no solution other than to convert your database (and potentially break legacy content) as described in post 6 to 8 on the previous page of this thread.
