I'm having the page title problems as well. For the longest time I used the overwrite page option. When I do that my page title looks like this: http://img406.imageshack.us/im.....oblem2.jpg

However, I would like a better page title.I would to include forum name and page name for example. This is what I get: http://img715.imageshack.us/im.....roblem.jpg

Why does the second one's page title look so wonky?

mmm - that admin panel is not really very well worded is it?
Turn on the option at the top - to overwrite the page/browser title. You need that turned on to then include/exclude what you want to show. As I say - not very clear and I will see if we can change that a little.

Having said that - when I do what you have done I do still get the separator even with the double entry. I don't get the 'Mozilla Firefox' part either but I wonder if that is the difference between Windows and OSX (which I am using). I will need to get someone to look for me this end.

Try turning that top option back on and please let me know the result in case we need to change anything

Here are some more options I've tried:

http://img696.imageshack.us/im.....oblem4.jpg

http://img513.imageshack.us/im.....oblem3.jpg

Still, each option I've tried gave me a wonky browser title. The only thing that looks right is if I only select the overwrite page option. Any other ideas?

Are you using any other SEO plugins that are forcing some sort of page title component? Or even, sometimes I believe, the Wp theme may have such an option...

Hmm, I'm not using any SEO components nor does my theme have any sort of options of that nature.

its your wp theme...  BrandonC downloaded and it researched the header.php file which is outputting all that extra stuff...

this is what its doing:

    <title><?php
            /*Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.*/
            global $page, $paged;
            wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
            // Add the blog name.
            bloginfo( 'name' );
            // Add the blog description for the home/front page.
            $site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
            if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
                    echo " | $site_description";
            // Add a page number if necessary:
            if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
                    echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'adventurejournal'), max( $paged, $page ) );
    ?></title>  

no real way for a plugin to deal with that... Brandon's suggestion was to change it to:

<title><?php if (is_home()) { bloginfo('name'); ?><?php } elseif (is_category() || is_page() ||is_single()) { ?> <?php } ?><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

so yeah... sometimes nothing we (plugins and themes) can do to play nice with each other when one or the other does some heavy customization...

you could add a check there for the forum page and only do that on non forum pages... then let the forum control it on forum pages...
