914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Forum request: Thread subject in title bar

Posted by: Dave_Darling Oct 6 2009, 08:51 PM

Many of the PHP BBSes that I read put the thread title in the browser's title bar. On the 'World, the title bar always reads "914World.com - A Porsche 914 Community / Forum / Club". Could the forum be set up to put the thread title there?

I'm hoping this is just a setting somewhere in the Admin section, and not one of those times where you have to update sixteen separate pieces of software...

It would help with my browsing, because I usually have several windows or tabs open at the same time, and I can start to lose track of which thread is which.

Thanks!

And it helps when bookmarking, too!

The "other" site has this feature...

I second the request, please

Nothing a little bit of custom code can't fix!

Let me know if this is OK, i didn't replace the whole window title, i appended the thread title to "914World.com" when you're inside a thread.

Is that gud enough?

Andy

PS: The updated title will only show once the page is fully loaded as i'm using JavaScript to change the title midway through loading the page. (The only point where i have access to the title variable)
