My Firefox window title says Thread Title - TTLG Forums when it used to be TTLG Forums - Thread title (and was therefore easier to spot from my millions of open tabs). Curiously, this new reply window still says TTLG Forums - Reply to Topic.

Should stay "title - TTLG forums" for more sensible tab titles.

New Posts now always lists three Important threads at the top (Thief Fan Missions FAQ, Thief Series FAQ, System Shock Series FAQ - Technical/Other), although they haven't been updated.

Yes, that was done on purpose to keep the FAQ's in the most visble location. Their "Last Post" dates have been altered to be some time in 2038 when the Unix Date Format stops working.
Spitter, there have been a lot of mumblings about whether it should be "Thread Title" - "Forum Name" or "Forum Name - Thread Title" and the former won, and to be honest, I'm quite happy about it, although I'm happy to take a big fat vote on it and see which is more popular.

You can still identify TTLG threads in tabs by the LG icon. I like the title as it is now.
Spitter on 2/10/2005 at 12:24
Oh right, that's true Eshk.
I'm all okay with the way they are now, I was just wondering if this new inconsistency was by accident.

Website usability guidelines recommend putting the most pertinent title first: hence page title -> site title. The good reason for this is so that you can still quickly tell pages apart even when the title is cropped, which happens an awful lot.
But this should be consistent throughout the site, not just on forum and thread views.

I'll run through the rest of the pages and flick them round if they're wrong.

One small thing... the lack of a blank line between the last line of a post and the 'edited by' message is bothering me. It just looks weird...
