Hi all

I've noticed that all of a sudden every page on gdnet has the same title: "GameDev.net - Your Game Development Resource".

Apart from massively hurting your Google rank, making it hard to Google for information on this site, it makes identifying tabs in my browser a nightmare.

Any eta on a fix?

Thanks! :)

Managed to get the appropriate title but still haven't managed to get the topic/page information in it yet. Unfortunately not as straightforward as it should be.

Got something "better", but still doesn't catch the topic. Have to look at it more later.

Ah I was just going to mention this.

For example, the entire tab title for this thread is: "GameDev.net - Your Game Development Resource - Home - Forums - Community Interaction - GDNet Comments, Suggestions and Ideas"

It would be nice if it were just "Same page title on every page - GameDev.net" or something like that. So I can make it out from the bunch of gdnet tabs I have open.

"New Content" section has a nice title for example, "New Content - GameDev.net - Home". I can see the "New Content" in the tabs thus pick it fast from the rest.

Personally I prefer the older style of showing the details first. That would be the forum name if listing the forum, or the topic name if viewing a topic. Then I can scan across the tabs and see "For Beginners", "Comments Suggestions and Ideas", or "Same Title On Every Page?" as the tab label. I can see they're all the same site because they have the blue icon on the tab.

Both with your description and with it as it is today, I get this less useful list:

Eh, with what I described you'd see "Thread title - Gamedev.net", not "Gamedev.net - Thread title". Or more specifically "Thread title - Gamede..." with the shortening.
