I wonder if there is a language pack for PHPBB. That might be part of the problem.

Hmmm, maybe your keyboard is either umlaut-challenged or suffers from Germanophobia.

I wonder if it may have something to do with your Windows settings for languages. I don't know squat about that, only that some things gets changed a bit when using different ones.

Ö
[alt]+153
