Request: Thread names listed first in tab/window titles

Post by wonderpug »

Is this tricky to implement?

The tab titles I get are in the form of "Octopus Overlords - View Topic - <topic name>"

This means when I have multiple OO threads tabbed, all I see at the top is:
Octopus Overlords
Octopus Overlords
Octopus Overlords
Octopus Overlords

or if I'm lucky:
Octopus Overlords - View

On other forums the titles take the form of "<topic name> - <forum name>" or even just the topic name, so in my tab listing I see something like:
Diablo III
Skyrim
Canadians - Fact or F
Barbie Horse Adv

which tells me a lot more about what I've got open in my browser.

I'd second this request! It'd help me from getting mad at Silvaril for not keeping folks' topic titles when he responds to posts (as I can't see the topic name at the top of the tab *or* just above the new post), and that's a good thing because he seems like a great poster! :D

Great idea, 'pug!

FishPants is out of pocket on a top secret mission to thwart our enemies, but I'm sure he'll be able to look at this request when he gets back.

Is that movie any good? I got it on Tivo but am not sure I want to devote 2 hours to it if it's not worth it. :)

There's some mods out there to do it. Will be a week or two until I can test em out.
No.
