AI Forums Title

Why does the AI forums have the title AppleInsider - "Powered by vBulletin"?



Honestly, not so many people care what server software runs this place, so maybe something simple like "AppleInsider Forums" would be better. That would look better in people's bookmark list aswell.



What say ye, o' mighty Brad?

    You can change what it's called in your bookmarks.

    Yes, I know, but why should everyone have to change their bookmarks to something that makes sence (ie is relevant to the link) instead of the server supplying a good usable title from the start?

    Maybe because AI is "Powered by vBulletin" that would be my first guess. Change your own bookmarks, it's not a big deal.

    i'm trying to think if there has ever been a bookmark i haven't changed.



    i have a question though....on my iBook, which runs 10.3.2 the favicon (the little logo in the address bar) is an apple.



    on my iMac which runs 10.2.8 all the sudden starts having a little ai instead of the apple.

    how does that happen?

    They changed the icon a while ago, but Safari behaves badly... it caches those little favicons, and then never refreshes them.



    So, just delete the caches (I think they are in ~/Library/Safari/Icons/ but I'm not sure) to get the new AIcon.

    Eh, I've been meaning to do this for a while, but it was on super low priority mode. Since you reminded me, I went ahead and replaced it.



    It now reads:



    AppleInsider - Forums



    Enjoy.

    Stating the obvious.

    Yeah, I hardly ever leave my bookmarks with the original title of the page.



    CNN.com became "CNN"

    AppleInsider is just "AI"



    One little word of 2-6 letters works much better at conserving space in the bookmarks bar anyway.

    I do the same, Apple is just ?.



    heh.. apparently Shift+Option+K doesn't appear correctly here anymore? Maybe it's Safari, but that doesn't make sense to me.

    I always shorten my bookmarks so I can fit like 80 of them in my bookmarks bar.

    Actually for a while there I filled up my bookmarks bar with 9 of my favorite sites then hid the bookmark bar and used command-1-9 to get to the sites.
