We were forced by the plugin moderation team to add mechanisms to strip all tags and other stuff from any text that is output by the plugin. You can look at the most recent few support posts here to see others who have had similar issues. Until we figure out some compromise/workaround, you’ll be best-off modifying the code in your plugin directly to display what you want. Plugin updates are extremely infrequent, so it shouldn’t be much of a hassle.
@robin-w we have to do something about the recently-enforced changes. They’ve clearly caused unnecessary issues for all sorts of users, and surely haven’t done much to improve security.

Thanks for that info
However, I looked at the code and there is an easy fix by adding the function addslashes to the post_title as you did with the topic_content earlier in the code. Below lines 484 to 495 of index.php
$topic_content = str_replace( array_keys($shortcodes), array_values($shortcodes), $topic_content );
$topic_content = apply_filters( 'bbppt_topic_content', addslashes( $topic_content ), $post->ID );
$new_topic_data = array(
'post_parent' => (int)$topic_forum,
'post_author' => $post->post_author,
'post_content' => $topic_content,
'post_title' => addslashes($post->post_title), // added addslashes
'post_date' => $post->post_date,
'post_date_gmt' => $post->post_date_gmt,
'post_name' => $post->post_name
);
This should have no objections from the plugin moderators, in my opinion.

Thanks very much – we’ll take it into consideration. In the meantime, it should solve your problem if you implement it yourself. We don’t have plans to update the plugin for a while, so don’t worry about the changes getting overridden.

agree – let me take a look when I get time
