    You should modify SHOWPOST template to avoid that, since vBSEO does not modify your <title> tags.

    It is good to have different title/meta tags although I can't say how much impact does it have in your case.

    Fist of all you should click on "Details" in Google webmaster account to find out which exactly URLs are reported as "duplicate titles", then you will have to modify corresponding template to create different for those pages.

    If you click "Duplicate title tags" link, you should be able to see "Pages with duplicate title tags" table with exact URLs that are reported.
