Remove Re:"thread title" from posts

[tattooz]

How do I remove the Re:"thread title" from the second, third, and so on posts in a thread?

vbotpions > message posting & editing > Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title > No

Setting that to no will not get rid of all the other post titles that are already entered.

How and what template needs edited to remove from all the older posts Lynne?

[Lynne]

I would guess you could just remove the lines like this from the postbit (or postbit_legacy) template:
<vb:if condition="$post['title'] OR $show['messageicon']">
<h2 class="posttitle icon">
<vb:if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img src="{vb:raw post.iconpath}" alt="{vb:raw post.icontitle}" /> </vb:if>{vb:raw post.title}
</h2>
</vb:if>

Pardon me for bringing this up again but....

Lets say, thread title is "Have a nice day"...in every new post we will have title "Re: Have a nice day"
I would like to have just "Have a nice day" shown in every new post, is "Re:" hurting us regarding to SEO?
I know that I can translate phrase "Re:" but dont have a fogiest idea what would be best for this, better just to remove it, but than again how?

Maybe just to translate "Re:" to some symbol, lets say " * " but than will this maybe cause some SEO demage...?

My version is VB4.2.0

Thank you

[Lynne]

The "Re:" is a phrase called reply_prefix

[goxy63]

Yes I know that, but if "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title " is on than prefix "Re:" will be there or any other word translated

My question is:
While "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title " is on, is there any way to remove prefix in order that we have just title shown in each new post?

[Lynne]

Sure.... make that phrase blank.

[goxy63]

Well first thing I did was that, "Re:" is still there ?

Languages & Phrases>>>reply_prefix>>>Edit>>>English (US)>>> blank
Languages & Phrases>>>reply_prefix>>>Edit>>>Optional Translation>>> blank

If I replace fields with any symbol or word it will work, but to remove "Re:" for me is no can do

Thank you for reply

ps
My "optional translation" is set for master language on my forums

[Lynne]

Actually, doing a search in the files shows that that phrase is used in more places than just the posttitle, so you probably don't want to mess with it. You may just want to edit the functions_newpost.php file and remove it from being returned on line 1463.
