I am absolutelly desperate to bring my forum back to original state. Wish I never touched beta product. These things should be properly tested before released to public.

So, let's figure out what's happening and get your forum back in order...

Did you have this issue after installing? After adding a product? After adding a review?

Have you checked your database to see if the thread titles were actually changed or merely getting displayed wrong?

To test run: SELECT title FROM [table_prefix]thread WHERE forumid = XXX LIMIT 10.

Did you run this on a LIVE site or a DEV site?

And while I absolutely agree that nothing negative should happen, which is why testing is done before anything is released. However, there are an infinite number of forum options, other modifications and configurations which can introduce problems... that's why this mod is clearly labeled beta. But that's not what counts... right now let's focus on fixing up your forum.

I have not had any issues with this modification, in fact I even noticed a misc issue and contacted Ted about it and he already had it in the next version, furthermore I don't see anything within the code that would do this?

To anyone and everyone reading this from here on out, this goes for EVERY modification on this site - Anything marked as Beta and/or anything that deals with your database should throw up a red flag telling you to either:

1) Install on a test site first.
2) If you install on a Live/Production site make a database backup beforehand then install the modification and test the functionality before turning the forums back on - this way if something is not quite right or goes wrong you can restore the backup promptly then turn the forum back on and return to the modification thread and report the error. *You just avoided much stress and can always be confident that your dealing with a Beta product correctly .
