   I had a user write a post with this title:

   =)

   This creates a post like this:

   * http://www.kosmosity.com/forums/topic/?replies=1#post-2

   I'm using the "slug" option on this test forum which uses the default theme and bbPress 0.8.2.1. It looks like the =) is being sanitized to "" (an empty string), which confuses bbPress and leads to that topic resolving to an error page. On the test forum to which I just linked, I have no plugins except WordPress Integration.

   Has anybody else run into this bug? Is there an existing workaround? If other people can replicate this bug, I'll create a ticket in Trac. Also, if there's no existing workaround, I'll try to create a plugin workaround.

   Thanks,
   Bob

   Yeah, that's probably sanitized into nothing.

   Add a ticket describing it in Trac.

   We'll need to create a case for "untitled" topics like this.

   Or simply don't let the post be made with titles that get sanitized into nothingness, or better yet, titles that are shorter than X characters - something like:
   

   function title_regulation($text) {
   if (strlen(trim($text))<8)
   	bb_die(__('Your title is too short, please say something meaningful!'));
   
   if (strlen($text)>80)
   	bb_die(__('Your title is too long!'));
   
   return $text;
   }
   add_filter('pre_topic_title', 'title_regulation',100);
