- - Remove multiple !!! or ??? from thread titles (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=33979)

This is a really simple little hack that was requested on vBulletin.com, but some people might find it useful, especially those of you who run support-type forums.

Basically, it prevents people typing HELP ME!!!!!!!!! or WHAT'S WRONG?????????!!?!?!?! (or other equally annoying things with multiple ? and ! characters) as thread titles.

It couldn't be simpler really - edit newthread.php and find this:

Code:

    $username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];

    $password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];

and right after it, add the following code:

Code:

$subject = preg_replace("/([\?\!]+)/e", "substr('\\1',0,1)", $subject);

I think this code is PHP 4 only, but who in their right mind runs PHP 3 anymore? ;)

Have fun.
Kier

Wow, I've been waiting for this! :)

When the problems are resolved I'll have it installed in a flash.

Neither of the below are working for me:

$subject
$message

I have tried adding ", removing spaces (I am not a PHP guru by far).

I am not sure what the problem is, although it would be a nice hack to have if it worked.

LOL oops :o

Edited the code in the original post so that it works now... that'll teach me to not test it in the actual vBulletin code eh? ;)

Will this also stop things like "?!?!?!?!?!?!"?
