[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1818228, member: 56379"] Wanted to let members know that receive notification emails from threads they subscribe to that the "sender name" of the emails will very likely change from "[B]Mac-Forums[/B]" to "[B]Apple iOS MacOS Help | Fix Mac iPhone iPad | Buying Tips | Mac-Forums[/B]". For those members that are knowledgeable or curious...a very important aspect for a website is SEO (Search Engine Optimization). One of the [B]many[/B] SEO parameters to consider is the meta title of a website. Turns out with the vBulletin software the site runs on...the same input field that generates the "sender name" for the subscribed thread emails...is also the same field that the website meta title description is entered. And according to the vBulletin developer experts at vBulletin.com...it's not possible (without custom coding) for these two items (subscribed thread email sender name & website meta title description) to be separate. In case someone isn't familiar with SEO...there are a whole bunch of parameters that factor into how often & how high/early in a search engine query a website shows up (Google search for example). As you can imagine...an SEO meta title of "Mac-Forums" is pretty under-utilized...especially when a fully optimized meta title for Google is 600 pixels (around 150-160 characters). This is where the meta-title of "[B]Apple iOS MacOS Help | Fix Mac iPhone iPad | Buying Tips | Mac-Forums[/B]" is much more descriptive & effective as a website meta title than just "[B]Mac-Forums[/B]". This in no way effects the how the website thread subscription system works...other than the sender name of the emails will change. Thanks, - Nick [/QUOTE]
