The browser title. The page title in the meta data.

Sorry - I assumed you meant the page title.
SEO is not one of my areas of great expertise but - as I understand it (and Mr Papa will correct me if I am wrong!) if the browser does not accept the page name changes then it is almost certainly down to your WP theme setting the title in a way that can't be changed. We don't see this often but it has come up before.
If you want to have a go at changing the way the theme generates the title then I can look up what you will need to do so.

It's funny that it worked for an hour or so last night and then quit. I don't think I did anything different in that time. Let's see what Mr. Papa says and I'll try to see what I can figure out too. Thanks!

You're right - that is a rather curious incident.
Tell you what - locate the html title tag in the header.php of your WP theme and let's see what it contains. You WILL need to use the syntax highlighting button (far right of the toolbar) else the tags will be stripped from the forum content. Just paste the tag contents, select with your mouse and click on the syntax button and select php.

OK, I'm not too smart about coding. I'm using a Genesis framework with a child theme. I don't see a header.php file in the child theme but I do in the framework. That whole file is below. Let me know if I'm not on the right track and need to look further in the child theme (didn't see any files labeled that in there though).
/*

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.
- Overwrite page/browser title with ours
- Include page name in page/browser title
- Include forum name in page/browser title
- Include topic name in page/browser title

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...
