Ok so i have about 6 categories and under each category is about 4 forums

so like

category 1

-forumname
-forumname

ok .. now when i click on one of those forums say

guitar forum

the TITLE META in the browser doesnt says GUITAR FORUM it just says the name of my overall forum

how do i change it so each forums name appears in the META TITLE when clicked... this is so search engines.. people can find my forum.. etc..

i cant get an answer from anyone.. noone seems to know

providing you are using 3.5.x then make sure that in your templates (forumdisplay mainly) it has $foruminfo[title_clean] in the <title> tags.

By default the Meta title and description remains the same on every page. I'm not sure if there is a hack out for 3.5 that allows you to change it. Try searching, if you don't find anything you can request for it in the Modification Request forum.

seems a bit retarded that it would be the same across .. but i see it is..

damn it why didnt they think of crap like that when they made it. does a regular website have the same title across every page LOL.. nope!.. whoever made vbulletin needs a good kick up the ass

has to be a easier way than hacking templates and such.. i havent a clue which template to go into.. do i go into using dreamweaver do i do it via admin? and where in admin and what do i change and what do i change too.. as you can see.. a PAIN IN THE ASS this is...

ok i found forumdisplay
Mine says

<meta name="description" content="$foruminfo[description]" />
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

what do i change so that the forums title and tile description show up in the source and when its clicked? oh and if i change it here will this mess up my main homepage title and description i.e what you see in OPTIONS> general settings?

Replace $vboptions[bbtitle] with $foruminfo[title_clean] between the title tags.

IT ONLY WORKS ON 3.5.x

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
