Tested only on version 3.04.05.

Since the page title is still very important in SEO and most search engines only look at the first 60-65 characters I decided to switch the order of my page titles for forums and topics.

Default setup is Forum Name (set in admin panel) then either the Topic Title or the Forum Title depending on the page. So if you have a long forum name and a long Topic Title or Forum Title, part of the Topic Title or Forum Title will be cut off in the page title (as far as SE's go). I would rather have the forum name cut off on the long ones. Your opinion may vary.

So here's how to change it....

Open inc_func_common.asp...

To change Topic Page Titles

Find:

					if intShowTopicTitle = 1 then strTempTopicTitle = " - " & chkString(ttopics("T_SUBJECT"),"display")
					set ttopics = nothing
					strNewTitle = strForumTitle & strTempTopicTitle


Replace it with:

					if intShowTopicTitle = 1 then strTempTopicTitle = chkString(ttopics("T_SUBJECT"),"display") & " - "
					set ttopics = nothing
					strNewTitle = strTempTopicTitle & strForumTitle


To change Forum Page Titles

Find:

					strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - " & strTempForumTitle


Replace it with:

					strNewTitle = strTempForumTitle & " - " & strForumTitle


Very simple, always make backups!

I also like how it shows the name of the topic on the tab of the browser as well as the button in the taskbar (windows) if the page is minimized.

I took mine a little further and changed the other forum pages too. If interested you can do this:

In inc_func_common.asp (3.4.06) look for:


      Case "members.asp"
         strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - Members"
      Case "active.asp"
         strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - Active Topics"
      Case "faq.asp"
         strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - Frequently Asked Questions"
      Case "search.asp"
         strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - Search"
      Case "pop_profile.asp"
         if request.querystring("mode") = "display" then
            strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - View Profile"
         elseif request.querystring("mode") = "edit" then
            strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - Edit Profile"
         else
            strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - Profile"
         end if
      Case "register.asp"
         strNewTitle = strForumTitle & " - User Agreement and Registration"

And replace it with this:


      Case "members.asp"
	 strNewTitle = "Members - " & strForumTitle
      Case "active.asp"
	 strNewTitle = "Active Topics - " & strForumTitle
      Case "faq.asp"
	 strNewTitle = "Frequently Asked Questions - " & strForumTitle
      Case "search.asp"
	 strNewTitle = "Search - " & strForumTitle
      Case "pop_profile.asp"
         if request.querystring("mode") = "display" then
	    strNewTitle = "View Profile - " & strForumTitle
         elseif request.querystring("mode") = "edit" then
	    strNewTitle = "Edit Profile - " & strForumTitle
         else
	    strNewTitle = "Profile - " & strForumTitle
         end if
      Case "register.asp"
	 strNewTitle = "User Agreement and Registration - " strForumTitle

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this mod, but I just noticed that if you click to go to the last thread of a reply, it shows the id number twice in the browser title and tab:



What needs to be changed to remove that?

Now I am getting the reply id three times in the browser header and tab!



What is causing this?

You must have a variable which isn't being reset, but is being regularly appended to.

What do I need to check and where? I'm not sure how to correct it.

It will most likely be in "topic.asp". Post a link to that file in .txt format for us to review.

I didn't find it but I see that it's not displaying/duplicating topic IDs any longer. I guess all's well.

For me it is still duplicating the reply id's. I noticed it only does it in IE8.

If you click on the little blue arrow on the default.asp page () that is when it does it. If the arrow goes to the main topic it is fine. If the arrow goes to a reply, that is when I get the multiple id's in the address.
