How to get "Forums" to show up in browser?

[ThatsDank]

When I visit my vbulletin site for example "My Site", every page shows the title specifically like a Music page will show "My Site - Music" but when I access the Forums it just says "My Site" and it does not say Forums anywhere. Is there something I have done wrong because when I open up a Forum post, the browser just shows the title of the post and "My Site" completely goes away.

Please provide a screenshot of what you mean.

Yes but when I change it to "That's Dank Forum" it shows up for that on every other page too. Example like on the music page it says That's Dank Forum - Music. I just want it to say Forums when you are in the forums section. I guess that's hard to do.

That's not possible.

Hi, you can do it with template edits. For the forumhome, go to the Style Editor in the AdminCP and edit the FORUMHOME template and find

<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>

Change it to something like this

<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - Forum</title>

For when viewing a thread you would make a similar change to your SHOWTHREAD template:

Find:

<title>{vb:raw thread.prefix_plain_html} {vb:raw thread.title}<vb:if condition="$pagenumber > '1'"> - {vb:rawphrase page_x, {vb:raw pagenumber}}</vb:if></title>

and change it to something like this:

<title>{vb:raw thread.prefix_plain_html} {vb:raw thread.title}<vb:if condition="$pagenumber > '1'"> - {vb:rawphrase page_x, {vb:raw pagenumber}}</vb:if> - {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} Forums</title>

Depending on how meticulous you want to be, you will need to make changes on quite a few other templates. MEMBERINFO for profiles, FORUMDISPLAY for pages of individual forums, etc. To help narrow down your search, use the Search Templates feature in the AdminCP and use "<title>" as your search term. The name of the template(s) will help determine what part(s) of the forum it is targeting, but feel free to ask again if you aren't sure. Good luck.
