How to remove the first part of the Forum Title?

[Marvin Hlavac]

As an example, if I access vBulletin SEO Discussion - Template Modifications at vBSEO.com I don't want my visitors (and Google) to see the "vBulletein SEO discussion" part, I only want the title to be: "Template Modifications at VBSEO.com".

Look for the <title></title> code in the FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD templates.

The bit that says $vboptions[bbtitle] will display the forum name.

Kaos,

Thanks for the reply. I think what I'm attempting to do is something that you have on your Talk Scotland Forums. Nothing more, and nothing less. For example, if I click on any of the forums within your General Discussions section, the titles of any of the 5 forums will not contain the two words of General Discussions. That's exactly what I want. I want to get rid of the General Discussions, like you have. I don't wish to change anything else, for example the titles of individual threads, etc.

How did you achieve that with your forum? Have I setup my forum wrong, or this indeed requires a template modification?

I went to templates, and I looked up FORUMDISPLAY, but the only thing that I found between the <title> and </title> code was the following:

<title><!--VBSEO_RR_2_NOHTML--><if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if></title>

I have no idea how to modify the above code to achieve my goal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
