If you would like to remove the site name, remove the {1} from the phrase also.

This will not remove the title from the main page also?

[Keith Cohen]

Yes, it will.

In that case, just edit your SHOWTHREAD template and remove this:

- $vboptions[bbtitle]

ok thx lots

would this help with SEO?

In my opinion it make sense if you remove the - $vboptions[bbtitle] only in the Forumdisplay Template because when visitors Threads seen in the serps it sounds quite authoritative, and entices users to click.

Forumdisplay

$headinclude
<title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

showthread

$headinclude
<title>$thread[title]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

You will see this in the templetes, just remove - $vboptions[bbtitle] and you will be done.

You can also remove it from members profile by removing the same variable in memberinfo templete.

how do i get to the forum display and showthread?

[FreelancerStore]

never mind, i found it. i was looking through my vb admin and realized it was on my cpanel.

I've actually thoroughly tested this change, used it 6 months without the title and 6 months with the title, you won't believe how much the difference is. My rankings completely screwed up when board titles added, traffic down etc. I 'm pretty sure nothing else could have caused that.

It's really really bad to use the board title on all pages, vbulletin should get rid of it.

BTW i see it's still being used here too, you guys should think about removing it too.
