For various reasons, you may decide you want to remove the words "View Topic" and "View Forum" from your board's titles. Regardless of the reason, it's a rather simple process -- two edits total.

First, open viewforum.php and find the following:

Code: Select all

page_header($user->lang['VIEW_FORUM'] . ' - ' . $forum_data['forum_name'], true, $forum_id);

Replace this code with:

Code: Select all

page_header($forum_data['forum_name'], true, $forum_id);

Next, save viewforum.php, and open viewtopic.php. Find the following:

Code: Select all

page_header($user->lang['VIEW_TOPIC'] . ' - ' . $topic_data['topic_title'], true, $forum_id);

and change it to

Code: Select all

page_header($topic_data['topic_title'], true, $forum_id);


Finally, save viewtopic.php, and, for good measure, clear your board's cache using the "Purge Cache" button on the General tab (usually the homepage) of the ACP.
