Forum titles?
I know Randy has plans for new software that will provide FT will all sorts of whistles and bells such as a customizable entry page, but in the meantime, many people just bookmark their favorite places. When I do this in Netscape, every sub-category in a forum comes up with the forum name only as the page title- ie 'United', 'MilesBuzz', 'MileRun', 'Star', all are listed as "FlyerTalk Miles". 'TravelBuzz', 'Asia', 'Hotels' all say "FlyerTalk Travel".
I can & do go back and edit them by hand so I know what's what, but would it be possible to give them unique page titles?

Interesting. I don't bookmark individual forums, but I was just playing around and made the same observation.
When bookmarking, Netscape and IE will title the page in your favorites/bookmark list what is in the source code's <title>. This <title> changes when you go into the actual topic but not when you enter the forum. I'd think this seems to be more of a Technical Issue.

I'll ask over there. I don't know how the software works, but maybe if the pages are dynamically created, they can't be titles individually?
