Question Forum Meta page titles have changed

Well I still don't seem to be getting anywhere with this problem. I've come to to downgrade back to 1.6.2 but then got a blank screen on the website. When I went into the forum configuration I got the following message. Not sure if it's got something to do with Jom social. Anyway, and pretty much stuck at the moment. However, it's not so bad because I know I'm not the only person having this problem, the kunena forum is experiencing exactly the same thing that is happening to me, I'm surprised they haven't done something about it.

Now this is strange, whilst googling, I found the message I posted yesterday on here. Whereas the title is not visible on the thread here, it is showing up on Google as you can see

Doing a view source of the page, and a page on my site in 1.6.2 shows that the meta data is correct (in both 1.6.2 and 1.6.3). Google takes the meta data for its search results - or so it seems. The page title, however, which isn't part of the meta data, does not now reflect the thread subject.
If you look at my site, say this thread..
www.scottish-deerhound.com/forum/7-show-...hound-club-show-2011
and do a view source you can compare the results.

Maybe its by design, maybe its not such a problem? Although personally I like the page title to reflect the tread subject, even if it is just cosmetic.

Thanks for the reply. Looking at the source code on some of the pages of your forum you will see that the Meta title tag corresponds with the title of the forum thread. However, if you look on my forum which is now 1.6.3, the source code meta title tag does not correspond. So in time would I be right in saying that all pages listed on Google will slowly change because they no longer exist on the forum, apart from in the thread itself, but not in the source code?

Hi
I can't actually see any meta title tags when in the kunena component on my site, yours or this one.
It seems that there is no meta title (<meta name="title" content="...) generated when in the kunena component pages.
It looks to me like the search results in google are being generated by the text in the title tags (to be clear - not meta title tags). Which for my site on 1.6.2 is fine as the title tags relate to the subject of the thread. On your site and this they seem to be static text.

I agree with you, I think this is a problem. Unfortunately I don't understand enough about the way kunena works to know where to look for the change between 1.6.2 and 1.6.3. I think it needs a developers eye.

same issue for me
