Hi,

I've just noticed this behaviour on the EAH boards but I presume it may happen on the boards of all BOINC projects.

I created a thread with a title that contained words in quotes that was constructed like the following example:-

This is a Thread Title "With Words" in Quotes

There was no problem with the thread as created. However, I needed to do an edit and when the text was loaded for editing, the title had been truncated at the point of the opening quote character. All the remaining text in the title was missing. When I had made the change to the body of the message and hit "OK" the thread was saved with the truncated title.

At first I didn't notice it but on investigating why the title was truncated, the key seems to be the opening quote character. After saving the edit, the example thread title would become:-

This is a Thread Title

Just thought someone may know how to fix this.


Cheers,
Gary.
