prosilver (and therefore Google?) still has "AHKScript (an AutoHotkey Forum)" at the start of titles.

It's got nothing to do with browser cache. If Nextron got a cached page, tank's "but i think i have it fixed" post would not be there.

Edit: It also affects Artodia (mobile theme).

Might need to clear your cache the fix is outside of the theme code entirely

Are you sure:

<title>AHKScript (an AutoHotkey Forum) &bull; Topic page title - View topic</title>

I don't normally use the prosilver style, but it appears Google does use it for naming its search results.

The title now shows Topic page title - View topic • AHKScript.
Thanks tank! :superhappy:

This issue is still unresolved for the subsilver2 and artodia style and as a result also for Google search results.

(also, now that there's a 'Forum Issues' subforum, perhaps this thread should be moved there.)

On my Chrome it also seems to be the same way as AfterLemon mentioned.
I'm using subsilver2.

Hahaha well it's better than these..

Offtopic: While I don't particularly care for subsilver, I question your sense if you think that's gorgeous.

Re: Topic page title

Post by AfterLemon » 09 Apr 2014, 17:18

Oh right right, nobody cares unless it's subsilver. BLECH. I hate these uglies.

We should switch to this gorgeous one!

It appears that the Google Bot uses the prosilver theme, which still has the old title format.

Same exact issue here:

This makes Google search VERY difficult for anyone, especially new users.

I also agree that "(an AutoHotkey Forum)" in the title is somewhat overkill, unless you're doing SEO with these sites?

When using Google I still get some results starting with "AHKScript (an AutoHotkey Forum) • View topic - ", also for topics created only less then a month ago. I can't find the exact string in the forum's page source, so is this Google doing some strange extrapolation of old topic titles or is there still some meta-tag stuck for Googlebot's user-agent?

thanks for catching that

Re: Topic page title

Pages in the User Control Panel or Moderator Control Panel have messed up titles. For example:
Compose messageUser Control Panel • • AHKScript (an AutoHotkey Forum)
View topicModerator Control Panel • • AHKScript (an AutoHotkey Forum)

Also, is it necessary to have "(an AutoHotkey Forum)" in the page title?

Yes, please re fix, whenever you have the time. Thanks.

Re: Topic page title

The title format appears to have reverted. Now all I can see on every tab is "AHKScript (an AutoHotk".

How it is now:

How I think it should be:
Board index » AutoHotkey » Wish List » Topic page title
Actually, it's already exactly like that.
