Hello,
I updated Simple-Press for WordPress 3.6, and all of the plugins as required for this new version.
Now the forum name appears, outside of the theme, at the top left corner of the page!
When I inspect the element I see this:
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<body>
Forum Name |
<title>Forum</title>
<meta content="noodp,noydir" name="robots">
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport">
Our forum's literal name and the "|" pipe character only show up when the forum page is loaded.
I went to the forum admin and updates the integrations but nothing changed.
I verified that it is not the WordPress page name ("Forum"), and it is in fact the name of the forum from the Simple-Press admin section.
I really need to make this not appear in the source code and the page!
Thank you,
Chris

This sounds like a product of your WordPress theme and the way they are handling title calls perhaps. What theme is it?

Thank you for the help.
I can post a link privately. This is a client site that prefers not to be public about issues like this.
And yes, it is a Genesis child theme! 
This site is using the recently updated Genesis 2.0.1. framework.
Thank you for the link. I'll look at it now.

And just for fun...
I disabled all of the Simple-Press plugins and the issue was still there.
So it's a core Simple-Press related issue not a plugin related issue.
I was hoping to find one Simple-Press plugin which was causing the problem. No such luck.

From the link above about using a Genesis theme...
I see that I should update a file in the Simple-Press theme so that Genesis and Simple-Press will place nice.
This site is using the Simple-Press theme: Stacked 1.2.3 by Andy Staines, Steve Klasen and Brandon C
I dislike doing tweaks to get solutions but I will follow the instructions in the above link.
Will there be an update to the Simple-Press Stacked theme to handle this?
It's unfortunate that there is not a set of WordPress Web Standards [that every designer adheres to] so that every design (theme, plugin, etc), works 100% of the time with all others. This change to the WordPress world would prevent a large percentage of tickets in all of our support systems in the future.
As Lennon said, "...Imagine..." Imagine no more random WordPress problems. It's easy if you...
Image how much more free time we'd all have in that Utopian world of WordPress Web Standards.
It might be time to begin pushing for this with WordPress.org.
And then smart folks would buy ONLY WPWS Compliant products.
Thank you,
Chris

The problem is now gone.
Thank you,

No, there cannot be an update to fix it... if that change is made, it breaks other themes and seo plugins... too many themes and plugins do the meta title their own, conflicting ways... Unfortunately, wp does not have a good way of dealing with that... Short of adding a whole slew of special if conditions checks for specific themes and plugins which we wont be doing...

There ARE WordPress standards. People just ignore them and do their own thing. This is a case in point.
