Forums - Website Topics - Thread titles

Does the webmaster of this site happen to use htmlentities() or an equivilent function when storing the thread titles in the database? I've noticed that if you include a < in the thread title, it'll cut off that and everything past it.

dont know but maybe someone will. just keeping your thread in the hot topics



I think it is because you used to be able to use html in the thread titles, so they did a quick fix that just looks for a "tag" and then erases everything after that.

$subject = htmlentities($subject);

 

Seems like a simple fix to me.
