Andy, many thanks for your awesome addons!

I got this working well except when someone is trying to capitalize Q&A is still reads Q&a. Is there a fix for this?

Also, I saw you sent something to Sandman to fix all previous titles. Is that still available?

what code would be needed to limit title length to 50 character?

Saw someone else ask but I don't think it was answered. how do you make it apply rules only to specified forums?

@AndyB - Interesting how many great options / variables people have managed to come up with for this Add On - but it seems everyone has missed the most important one: *minimum* title length.

Short titles are a disaster for proper SEO. If you (like I) have a bunch of users who post threads like "What should I do?" and "Need Help", you realize your rankings are going to suffer dramatically.

Whether the titles are capitalized, or first word is capitalized comes a distant second SEO-wise to having Title Tags that say nothing. In fact, "maximum length" is not that big of a deal, as Google will truncate the title for you. But a title tag that is too short can't be fixed. Its just bad..

Requiring a minimum number of words would be best, and minimum number of characters second best.

Can this be added?

In my case, the addon work as intended and @AndyB is a kind person and a great developer.
He is always ready to help us and I really want to say him, thank you, AndyB.

Hello AndyB
I need some help,

Remove HTML Tags

ex: my title is ;

bayrak: &#39;112 <b>ve</b> Acil Servislerin en onemli sorunu istihdam&#39; (its coming from google rss feed)

I want to replace here
&#39; to '

and to hide/remove
<b> and </b>

Result is;

bayrak: '112 ve Acil Servislerin en onemli sorunu istihdam'

is it possible to modify TitleControl.php, what the content should be?

Thanks

Is there anyway to set this mod up so they see the error from the thread view so they change it before they submit a new thread? For example, prevent special characters from appearing in the title thread.

Is this available for 2.0? Thanks.
