    rewrite the re: threads on title change

    I will try to explain clearly

    New thread is created with title: generic thread title

    responses are made to the thread and their titles are: re: generic thread title.

    Administrator, Moderator or Forum owner comes along and cleans up the title for clarity or SEO reasons and changes the title to: Specific Thread Title Optiimized for SEO.

    but all of the subsequent posts still have the re: generic thread title

    I would love to see all the related post titles updated to the new thread title.

    Hope that made sense,

    It is probably not a good idea to modify all post titles automatically, since they may include text mannually entered by users (not "re: title").
    Btw, you can hide post titles as described in two simple template mods for vBulletin SEO

    why not just put some fancy code in like

    rewrite all re: titles with new thread title except where the title has been edited/customized?

    Just seems like a better approach if the thread title changes that the corresponding re: titles match.


    Thanks,
