OK, we will implement those suggestions then.

You say the number of errors are increasing. Are they increasing because the number of pages is increasing or are we having different issues now, issues that we didn't have before?

I'm not sure If I've caused these errors with the changes I've asked for or not.  I was trying to figure out if forums without modified title tags have these issues, and trying to understand the standard method of assigning tags. I was looking at my unmodified test forum. One thing I notice is that the default title tags for a subforum make no mention of the parent forum. Maybe I should work within this structure.  My titles are too complex now because I am trying to do two things - eliminate "duplication" errors AND optimize my site with keywords.

I could probably learn something if have you set titles back to the default setting to try to understand them better.

Question - do other forums display these kinds of errors in webmaster tools?

Also - when template is fully functional could I look into NAML and understand the way title tags are set up easily enough to make changes to the way they are structured without changing the actual NAML code too much?  Like can I see how the page numbers are created and then restructure the way they are setup?

And - at one point you removed the "Threaded" and "List" Views from title tags, and they are no longer indexed separately (I think).  Could this be done with TOPICS view too?

Sorry to be so persistent about this. I really want to get the title tags and SEO correct.

There has to be a simpler way to do it.
