Double titles

[Lionel]

Can someone please tell me how to prevent double title, first in the title, then repeating itself in the thread again. I'd like to have only one title.

What's happening, I am retrieving title and strlen of pagetext to display in narrow space. So the double title is really taking unecessary extra space.

I tried to do in the while loop
$pagetext=str_replace($title,"",$pagetext);

which would have make me happy, but for some reasons it does not work!

Thank you.
