Thread Titles and Page Titles?
dhutch - 2/1/09 at 12:35 PM

There are rumours in the air of a new forum/website so this may be about to be cured anyway.

However major improvment i would enjoy would be if the thread title appears as the web page title.

In otherwords, the bar at the top said "Any MIG welder recommendations - LocostBuilders" etc. rather than just saying LocostBuilders as it does for all pages currently.

That way if using tabed browsing you would be able to toggle to the right thread, ditto pulling a thread out of the 'recently viewed' or 'recently close' list.

Im very tabbed, and also make use of pay-per-bandwidth mobile contection from time to time.

Well, put another way, this is a screen dump of what my page history looks like after a session on Locostbuilders.


And here's the same screen shot after a go on Canalworld.


You get the same affect when you have 30 open tabs for one or the other.

Yep, was going to suggest this myself a while ago. Means when you bookmark a page the bookmark will get a more useful name than just "LocostBuilders" as well.

Quick Greasemonkey script: 

code:
// ==UserScript== 

// @name           LocostBuilders Title Change 

// @namespace      http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/ 

// @description    Adds the nav title to the LocostBuilders title 

// @include        http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/* 

// ==/UserScript== 

 

var navbar = document.getElementsByClassName('nav')[0]; 

var navbartext = navbar.innerHTML; 

if (navbartext.length == 32) { 

	var title = 'Home'; 

} else { 

	var title = navbartext.substring(navbartext.lastIndexOf('»')+2); 

} 

document.title = title + ' - LocostBuilders';

Ah... gotcha!
