I have the SEO URL scheme enabled, but some of titles have special characters enabled. Anyway to remove that ability?

By special characters, I mean "ALT-Codes" and characters that aren't on an English keyboard, such as the euro sign, ect.

Thanks!
some characters should be removed or translated to something similar. In other words, they shouldn't show up
Nope, I tested it earlier it results into "404 Not Found".
I still require support, if any experienced MyBB user can assist.
I think you'd need some sort of plugin that checks specific types of characters when they click the "Submit" button, that's if you really want it banned.

I haven't seen this plugin before, but I'd be interested in it too if it does exist.
Alright, thank you. I temporarily disabled the feature, as it does not serve much use anyhow.
