Support Forum

hiya mr papa

i do have that selected.  if at all helpful, i have that selected, and the final four checkboxes (checkspheres?) filled in:

Include forum name in page/browser title
Include topic name in page/browser title
Exclude forum name in page/browser title on topic views only
Include non-forum page view names (ie profile, member list, etc) in page/browser title

and i am using SEO Ultimate

http://www.seodesignsolutions......press-seo/

no theme and no plugin has a specific impact EXCEPT the SEO Ultimate plugin.  

the SEO ULtimate plugin DOES have a part in it that refers to rewriting titles that I'm sure is the culprit.  I believe part of the original fix involved changing code in the a SEO Ultimate php file that controlled rewriting the SEO.  (essentially, a "change all titles except on the forum" bit).  

If I could get at the original thread (https://simple-press.com/suppo.....ow-to-fix/) I might be able to leverage that same code...
