If this character & is included in the topic title, then on the block of recent.

Rolled back to 2.0.17, if you look at the recent block the issue is gone, or it is for me.

I can see that also. It's a clean install of 2.0.18 as I trashed all my old instances of TinyPortal on SMF recently. Although that shouldn't make a difference.

Can you edit TPsubs.template.php on here and change short_subject in the TPortal_recentbox function to subject?

[lurkalot]

Thanks, I don't think I have a clean install of 2.0.18 to test this atm, I will do that soon though now you've mentioned it.

I'll install the 2.0.18 patch on here again now.

Yep will give it a go.

Code Select Expand

echo '
<a href="' . $w['href'] . '" title="' . $w['subject'] . '">' . $w['short_subject'] . '</a>
', $txt['by'], ' <b>', $w['poster']['link'],'</b> ';
if (!(TP_SMF21) && ($w['is_new']))

Tino, did you mean change 'short_subject' to just 'subject' or did you actually mean 'subject?'

[tino]

Change the name short_subject to subject

So $w['subject'], there's two instances in there to change I think.

Thanks, yes there is two.

OK, done.  You can see it fixed that issue, but the title is pretty long in the recent block now.

Thought it might, it's a SMF issue then.

Thanks Tino. But when you say it's a SMF issue, do you mean it's a bug they have caused in SMF? or just something they have changed and we need to adapt TP for going forward?

Also you said it doesn't seem to happen with a clean install of 2.0.18, so is this something relevant only to the 2.0.18 patch they released?
