I started a thread in the Pit recently that had quotation marks in the title. The title is now listed, cut off at the first quotation - What did I do wrong?
I remember reading about this some time ago in a thread here, but my search came up dry.

Here’s the thread you were talking about, I think. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25647
It looks like vB doesn’t support quotation marks in the topic (title) line.
When you use quotation marks in some places, the system reads it as “take everything between the quotes as ubb coding” and handles it in that fashion.
I suspect that’s what happens in the subject line. Just leave 'em off there.
