Codepage problems & WP article authors mixed up

Hello,

I tried out the WP Bridge functionality, and it worked surprisingly well from the start. However, there are some issues with it.

1) The codepage of my VBulletin is Cyrillic (Windows-1251); WP is UTF-8. There is a general problem with representing Windows-1251 characters, for example, in the mapping table for user groups (see Screenshot 1).

2) The name of the author of the WP Post got erased after installing the Bridge; instead, it is again garbled through the Cyrillic -> UTF8 conversion. After decoding it I found out that this is actually the first user in our DB which is displayed as author (Screenshot 2).

3) Apart from that, avatars weren't taken over from VB.
