Hi,

Our site used to have default locale set to “suomi” (“fi”).

This has stopped working, and when as an admin I go to forum preferences (admin/site\_settings/category/required) and change the user default locale to “suomi” and press save, the value remains but has no effect. After reloading preferences page, the value is again “English”.
