Thread/Post Title Characters
Mod Version: 2.0, by MarkFL

This simple product allows you to define what chracters will be permitted in thread/post titles using regex. You may elect to use HTML5 form validation when the user's browser supports it, but if you choose not to use this method, or the user's browser doesn't support it, then a message will be displayed above the editor block advising the user that they have illegal characters in their thread/post title if applicable. They will not be allowed to submit their post until the title has the illegal characters removed. You may define the CSS applied to the error message.

Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and may work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.
