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

Of course

It will replace ?!?!?!!!!?!?! with ? and !!!?!?!?!!?!?! with ! (taking the first character of the string)
