    Title without forum name

    Hello,

    vBulletin is configured to add the <forum name> to each html <TITLE>. But the keyword relevance of the <TITLE> would be greater without <forum name>. What I have to do to remove <forum name>?

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards,
    Frank

    What page are you wanting to remove that from? The showthread or forumdisplay?

    For example --> Ägypten Forum - Nilkreuzfahrten, Rundreisen, Tauchen und Ägypten Pauschalreisen - Ägypten Bilder - Galerie
    The title should be --> "Ägypten Bilder" (egypt pictures)

    In your forumdisplay template find:

    HTML Code:
    <title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
    and change it to:

    HTML Code:
    <title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if></title>

    Thank you very much. It works. But how can I shorten (without forum name) the threads too, like this one here --> Bilder der MS African Queen - Ägypten Forum

    It would be similar. Find the </title> tag on the showthread template, and it is the last variable that needs to be removed.
