    Sorry. We had an issue before the June release (about 2 weeks before that) in which new threads with special characters such as &, #, ", etc... are being stored as HTML encoded values. Part of the release for June included a lot of encoding fixes. However, since some of those thread titles with special characters we're already stored as HTML encoded values (" etc...) and we needed to decode those characters back to it's non encoded values.

    Basically, some of those characters we're being HTML encoded upon save and we needed to decode those values.

    Any new threads after the June release (6/25) is fine. The issue started to occur on 6/12.

    Thank you

    Do you see any other threads that actually have html encoding strings in the thread title?

    If so, post it here. We've cleaned up a lot of those threads last week.

    Thanks.

    what is means "cleaning"? if new threads appears, you should "clean" it every time?
