    The settings for meta tags can be found in your style.
    Let's say you're using the prosilver style (default for phpbb3)
    you would need to edit styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.tpl

    Look for something like this
    
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{S_CONTENT_DIRECTION}" lang="{S_USER_LANG}" xml:lang="{S_USER_LANG}">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="{S_USER_LANG}" />
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="resource-type" content="document" />
<meta name="distribution" content="global" />
<meta name="copyright" content="2002-2006 phpBB Group" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
{META}
<title>{SITENAME} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->{PAGE_TITLE}</title>
    Code (markup):
    Change the keywords and the description to something you want.

    I'm not sure if there's a way to do this dynamically yet (ie: in phpbb3 acp), in fact, the above section leads me to believe it's not possible, otherwise we'd see something like content="{keywords}".

    Seems to be a pretty major flaw in the design of phpbb3, but whado I know
