If a post title contains partial BB Code like "[S]" ("S" standing for "Suche" / "Searching" in a marketplace forum) then prepending the post title to the post message causes the whole message to be striked-through because XenForo auto-closes BB Code tags.

One possible solution could be to wrap the post title with the "PLAIN" BB Code:
