I searched this forum but didn't find an answer:
Where does the page title of the very first forum page come from? I guess it is loaded by the index page, when you call www.domain.tld/forums/

We need to change this title but I cannot find it in the general settings nor by searching the templates. Can it be that it was entered by the server admin as he installed vBulletin?

It should be in vboptions > Site Name/URL/etc > Forum Name

Unfortunately not. The forum name in vBulletin options is what appears as a suffix on every other forum page but the very first page shows a different title.

How about an image? Or a link to your forum? Do you have an modifications that may be doing this? Try turning them off and see:
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Don't forget that for vbseo, disabling the modification means to also get rid of anything extra you added to your htaccess file.

Problem solved, thank you very much for trying to help!
Actually it was our own fault as so often ...

After beeing unsuccessful with your suggestions (thanks for the hint to disable plugins btw), I searched the MySQL database for the string and found it in the phrases table. Someone of us has entered it into a translated phrase "x_powered_by_vbulletin".

Now we at least know how to change the title of the first forum page :)
