Sample posting.

If this character & is included in the topic title, then on the block of recent posts this character is not displayed in the topic title, only &amp is displayed. This is a bug?

Strange, I looked at this earlier and could have sworn it was ok. I see it now though.

What does calling ssi_recentPosts directely show? I can't see any where we encode the entity.

What is this set to in the database? For me it's this;

Code Select Expand

Topic with & in it but it display's correctly on the page when rendering.

You mean the messages table?  MyISAM   utf8_general_ci

And this is what's in the actual database.

Thanks, so it's not double encoded. It's definitely an entity thing. I'll dig a bit more but it's working ok here on my test installs.
