Our admin finally thinks the questions database was corrupted during the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8, but I have no further details. As a workaround, our teachers can access a copy of the former site (under 1.6), and so backups of their quizzes (& questions) and then restore them to the new (1.8) site. Tedious, but it works.

For Likert - if you could name "answers" like this:
q1_1
q1_2

Good idea, it might help me solve the non-latin characters problem. I will try it tomorrow.

As for the utf-8 editor, I use UniRed, freeware, where you have a choice when you save of all kinds of encoding.

Yes, I am aware of these problems and working on them now.

  1. The reason why the CSV (Comma Separated Values) output is directed to the screen rather than to a text file which you can save to your computer is that the language files you sent me were encoded as UTF-8 (BOM) when they should be UTF-8 without any BOM (byte order mark) (more info here). I do not understand why this problem exists but I know the solution.I am attaching both cyrillic and latin serbian files to this post, re-encoded without BOM, for you to try out on your site. I have also put them in the Moodle CVS.
  2. The other problem (missing data from rate/Likert scale questions) is due to the non-Latin characters. I am searching for a solution...

Please be patient.smile
