    the titlle bar at the top of my browser stays the same wherever i go on my site. How can i change this?

    for example when viewing a post...it still gives the the title of my site.


    this might be the reason i'm having trouble getting properly indexed

    Look at your source code. Pay attention to what is between <title> and </title> If all pages have same title this could be a problem and needs to be changed.

    If you have domain name pointing to site and are using stealth redirect mode this could account for this as well.

    You want to make sure each page has a title accurately describing the page.

    Try viewing from another computer and see if you observe the same.

    well i'm concerned with the way my forum is indexed. I took the title tag out, and even though the title changed on every page, it still was not complete.

    Here is an example of what it says now that i took out the title tag

    I have not delt with the issues of optimizing a forum. Some of you who run a forum jump in here and help.

    There are hacks used to optimized forums. Some are using VB forum software and others phpbb. You might do a search for VB hacks or phpbb hacks and see what you find..
