Visible title of any forum page should contain the forum's name

The text in a browser tab is determined by the "title" tag in the HTML file (XPath: /html/head/title ).

Per default, all titles for Vendetta-Online.com/x/msgboard/* are called "Vendetta Online - Forums" which makes it hard to identify the proper tab without clicking it (or maybe hovering to get a tooltip).

I suggest to modify the page's title at least by adding the forum name (e.g. "Suggestions"), maybe even shorten it like "VO Forums -> Suggestions". (The tab shows the VO icon, so even without "VO" or "Vendetta Online" it can be identified fast.)

The example given in the image above shows that I am a "tab fetishist" (btw: The addon is called Tree Style Tab). But i guess that even "normal people" will have a few forum tabs open at the same time.

There is a workaround: use some tool like GreaseMonkey to rewrite the "<title> tag". Yeah! Not only use Lua for modding the game, but also mod the forums!

Also the reply links should probably include ?page=x so it doesn't leave you looking at page 1 while you type your replies...

We'll take a look at this. But probably low-priority when we get some time, not in the immediate future.
