Awesome! That means the script stuff is working fine now - you can remove the blue code - now we just have to figure out how to grab the total notifications count for you

Check out this thread, which was my original source for the idea:

This should give you an idea of how to code the plugin

OH! Here's the problem - need to call bbuserinfo if you're using the non-vbNotifications method. I'm so sorry for such an awful explanation
Here is what I would do for the title:
Code:
<title>({{vb:raw bbuserinfo.title_note_count}) {vb:raw pagetitle} - {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
I'm testing without the vb:if conditional right now - that way we can rule out the conditional as a source of the problem.
