I have named the forum in the admincp board settings... yet it doesn't show the name of the forum in the browser title.
Also when it loads up,,, bottom left it shows the name of the server it is on not the name of the forum!
I have changed the url to the domain name of the forum but....it then cannot find the admin part as it then says its not on the server!
Any ideas?? ?
I am new to this so I am most likely doing something stupidly obvious!
Thanks in advance
regards
Phil
Do you have a link to your forums?
You're using a frameset which has no title:
<html>
<head>
[b][color=red]<title></title>[/color][/b]
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" cols="100%" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="http://www.pipstertech.co.uk/forum" frameborder="NO"
scrolling="AUTO">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Redirection to <a href="http://www.pipstertech.co.uk/forum">here</a>
</body>
</noframes>
</html>
If you go directly to
http://www.pipstertech.co.uk/forum/ it's working.
That's great! thank you! but please excuse my ignorance! lol! Where does this code go? and how do I use it?
hi philc. When you have a frameset or an iframe, it overrides lower hierarchy titles, therefore you must define the title of which your frameset is located. For instance. If your frameset was in index.php of your main site, open it up, find "<head>" and add "<title>Thurrock Paranormal Forum</title>" right after it. I'm assuming you know basic html since I think you created the frameset. Please let me know if you need more assistance.
Another alternative is using document.title in Javascript. Though I suspect this is out of your knownledge at this point
Cheers!
Edit: It was brought to my attention that your site could be "Cloaking"
http://www.pipstertech.co.uk/forum/. Is this the case? If so, the above may not work
Thanks!
When you say cloaking is that ticking the "Mask URL" box?
