How Do I Convert the URL to give the Page Title Instead of the URL Address?

How Do I Convert the URL to give the Page Title Instead of the URL Address? For example if I type my url, www.weusecoupons.com I'd like it to display the title of the page, not the actual url address. Is there a mod / hack / or add-on for this. I can't seem to find it. Thanks

What's the page title?

We Use Coupons

???

We Use Coupons Home

Are you talking about in Tabs or in the Address Bar?

If it's the address bar, the answer is no, that's the point of the address bar. If it's Tabs, no idea, but I doubt it.

Granted with blogs and vbSEO you can use "fancy url's" where they will take a thread title and use it in the url, but it still won't be like:

favicon We Use Coupons

it's still going to look:

favicon www.weusecoupons.com/forum/do-you-like-to-shop

something like that

no ..... thats not what i mean. What I want to happen is when you type in a link or url in a post, for it not to show the url, but the title of the page. For example if I type in this link....right now it shows the post url, (http://www.weusecoupons.com/upload/s...?p=359#post359), but what i'd like it to say, is 'Why do you use coupons' (the words being clickable using the url above).

no if your talking about the title for the site itself just goto Admin CP - Languages & Phrases - Search in Phrases - and search for the title it has already then just edit and replace to what ever u like =)

I don't think i'm communicating what I want done correctly. I don't really care about the url in the address bar.

Here is what I want accomplished: When I post and include a website in the post, instead of that url showing up in the post, i'd like to have the website's name appear.

For example, if I post this at my forum:

Hi, I am new, this is a cool forum, an even cooler one is www.paperretriever.com
Now, as you can see the web address is a link, but it is showing the url. What I want accomplished, and I know it can be done automatically is this:

Hi, I am new, this is a cool forum, an even cooler one is Paper Retriever - Making Every Page Count.

The web address has converted itself into the title of the page that it is directing to and is a link.
