Is it possible to automatically de-dotify a thread title? By this i mean if a member posts a title like... 'this.has.loads.of.dots.in.it.' then vb would remove the dots and replace with a space.

It was possible with phpbb using

$post_subject = str_replace('.', ' ', $post_subject);

but im unsure where and how to code it with vb.

You could probably achieve this using the plugin and hook location for thread complete

Look at newthread.php, and especially at the hook: newthread_post_start.

Also see the manual: Plugin System (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/plugin_system).
