No that wont help… but dont worry about it as I use Genesis on multiple sites and am quite familiar with it…
but I have to ask, if you are using Genesis, why are you bothering with an SEO plugin? it has built in SEO that will cover you just as well as yoast or aioseo… you really dont nee multiple seo activities going on…
and simple press works just fine with the built in seo of Genesis…
and looking at your site, you seem to be running yoast seo again…
OK, I’ve deactivated Yoast now but my topics still show the same page title as for the main forum page. Do you think it is something in my settings? I put them above, but here is what I have checked.
yes, but I think its because you set up custom title stuff on the wp page… edit the wp page the forum appears on (forum) and look in the Theme SEO Settings section… do you have a custom page title defined?
on the /forum page I defined a custom page title using the Genesis Theme SEO Settings. I put in a page title and meta description. That custom page title is showing for that page but topics are showing that same page title.
yes, the custom page title is overriding the forum/topic titles… remove the custom page title and you will get the forum/title one…
OK, I did that and now I have the title from the forum settings but my topics still show that too…not the topic itself.
so what are you genesis seo settings?
and maybe a screenshot of the wp page for the seo settings?
I know this works 
looking at 3 diff test sites with genesis right now…
still really confused by the browser title that is showing… its not from wp, its not from sp… so you still have a custom genesis setting somewhere… where else would ‘for information and advice’ come from???
well, you had it working… but now you changed it again…
I am off for night… up for work in 5 1/2 hours… 
Hmmm. Well my topics are now showing the right page title and I have no idea why! But that’s a good thing. I can’t figure out where the “for information and advice” is coming from. I don’t see it anywhere.
I think I’m calling it quits for tonight. I’m traveling most of the day tomorrow…with a layover in Arizona so I’ll wave to you from there 
I might not be back online for a couple days. But I WILL get this figured out! I’ll get a screenshot for you then.
Thank you so much for your help and patience.
