Creatively deal with invalid forum post titles #18

Open unspec opened 12 years ago

unspec commented 12 years ago

Appears that Viewr doesn't like square brackets in forum titles and instead posts as:

"Error - could not retrieve post title (encoding) -"

Could the feedpoller just strip the invalid characters and keep the rest of the title?

Fix may be related to Issue#2

This is related to issue 2 it seems, but square brackets will show up often enough that i really want to sort this by i46... Thanks for the descriptive bug report, i'll have a look tonight or tomorrow :)

(I may very well sort this by specialcasing certain characters hence leaving this open as a separate ticket)

£ also breaks this. htmlentities?
