Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 14, 200816 yr Its come up time and again, its now re-brought up in the general chat but I thought I'd suggest it because having to update it manually every upgrade can be un-amusing and actually tedious. An option that you can choose the Index Page Title to change it from "(Powered by Invision Power Board)" to whatever you want without a file edit and not have to change it every time that you upgrade.
September 14, 200816 yr +1 and I was one of the ones that brought it up in the general chat. I thought it and then did a search to see if any topics about it have been made and the one I found was in the general so I replied.
September 14, 200816 yr +1, Although I don't mind the "(Powered by Invision Power Board)" this would be a nice feature.
September 14, 200816 yr I'm fine with an edit (non-feature) since I know IPS just wants their product to be known.
September 14, 200816 yr It's perfectly fine to be known. I'm an IPB advocate. Have been since I was a user of IPB so many years ago, just loved the feel and look of the forum over any other! I still feel its better to be more easily edited, as I said the lack of a option in the ACP makes it to where every upgrade (when you notice it mind you if you don't remember) you must go make that manual update. If you're an advocate of upgrades this makes it both tedious and difficult. Their link is in the footer and anyone that asks me where my spiffy forum software came from I tell them IPB. I also suggest it to those that want to make a successful forum. Truthfully having a happy customer is better publicity then having a page title that says their name. As it's said, bad things go to 25 people where as good things go to 5 per customer. I consider this manual edit a bad thing so this will go to 25 people instead of me remembering to tell my five (at least) people of the fabulousness that you can edit this.
September 15, 200816 yr I believe I've simply removed the text (no need for an option)Woot! That works too. :)
September 15, 200816 yr I believe I've simply removed the text (no need for an option) wow thats cool so it does not even have it any more. :)
September 16, 200816 yr That's great, bfarber :D It is annoying removing it, and it can lead to problems with Google (or so people say....)
