Thread Titles in Page Titles

Whenever I come back to chockstone after letting it be for a while, I'll open all the threads with unread messages in new tabs. Sometimes when I'm reading (or if heaven forbid work distracts me from my websurfing), I lose track of with tab is which thread and have to scroll back to the top of the page to reread the thread title and then down again to keep reading.

I think it'd be handy to have the thread title come up as the page title to help keep track of which thread is which.

eg. [Thread Title] - Chockstone Forum

Anyone else think that'd be useful?

Probably.

What I'd find more useful would be to make the 'marking as read' of posts a manual option for a thread on a topic by topic basis.
I agree that when you don't log in for a while, but only have a limited time on the present log-in, that it is hard to catch up, and if the computer times you out/crashes/you leave before reading all items, ... then when re-logging-in they have been marked as read and they weren't!

I have not tried opening new threads in new tabs, but suspect the problem of delineating read from unread would still be there.

... It is probably a good thing to have these kind of problems, as it attests to the popularity of Chockstone!

Hmmm... Was thinking about posting this as a suggestion and it looks like I already did...

Though this time I thought it might be a good idea because then google would pick up the thread titles in the search results.
