    Hi
    Thank you for this great plugin. There’s a big problem with multi-rating and it’s the character set encoding of it’s tables that are not utf-8. This is a very big problem for non Latin websites like Persian or Arabic languages. After each update or install i should run this sql command “alter table xx_mr_rating_item change description description LONGTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8;”.
    can you please fix this problem once and forever so that we don’t need to change database tables manually?
    thank you in advance

    Hi,

    I’ve found Multi Rating plugin does not currently use the default WordPress charset collate when creating or updating the database tables (global $charset_collate variable). A fix will be available in the next release. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
