Question Change topic title after a post has been made

Hi,

Have a problem here and I have searched and not been able to find a way to fix it.

After a user posted they somehow changed the title of the topic. It changed from one sentence to about 5 sentences and looks bad.

How can I change the topic of a thread?

It can be seen here

jane.tv/forum/recent?view=latest&do=latest&func=latest

Hello,

You can edit the topic for now, in Kunena configuration panel you set a limit for topic subject

Will someone please help me with this. This is bad I can't figure out a way to fix it. I already tried limiting the topic subject length, but it did nothing. Look how bad this looks.

I've seen this particular problem before (but I can't remember exactly what caused it). It was a long time ago when I saw various messages posted so I'm wondering if the issue affects an older, unsupported version of Kunena?

Can you please post your configuration report? This might help us to help you better. I'll keep digging around to see if I can find out where I saw this issue before. Changing the subject or limiting the subject length configuration setting won't cure the problem, by the way. If my memory serves me right, the problem is caused by some bug ... but in whose software is this bug? :S

Hi Sozzled. I attached the report. Thank you for helping me with this! It is a mess... This is a live website right now... Never a good thing when there is a problem.

Hmmm ... a couple of recommendations for you. As I suspected, you're using an older version of Kunena (which isn't supported any more, by the way) and that may account for the problem. Your first plan of action should be to update to K 1.7.

I'm not sure about your Kunena menu set-up but if everything else is working fine then let's not mess around there. My only comment about the menu setup is that it looks a little "over-engineered" from my perspective.

Your configuration report looks like you've altered it somehow (e.g. you've removed the URL of your website). Please look at the FAQ "fact-sheet" What information should I include when I ask for help (including how to post my configuration report)? particularly in relation to the use of the
