Request: Please fix this forum's Title Tag!!

The header for each page of the Forum starts with: "Welcome to the TVPaint Community Forums!" This causes problems when using Google to search through your forums. Example:
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=ch ... vpaint.com
Perhaps you can find where you have the the Site Description and make it short to just "TVPaint Forums" Ideally you want the Topic Title FIRST or the Forum Name (keep it short) then the topic title
Either way, the way it is now, the Title Tage is flooded by the Site Description.
It's a small fix that can really help with SEO and using Google to search the forums.

Really? No feed back at all?
With the lack of popularity of this program there is a serious lack of tutorials and resources for people learning the program. This forum is the best place to get info and thus should be the most accessible!!
The above fix would solve problems like this:

Notice how it's very difficult to read the topic headers because the welcome message is a precedes it. Flipping the order (Topic Header then Forum Name then Welcome Message) would make searching FAR easier.
Please take my suggestion under consideration, thank you

I'm not sure, but I think I've read a similar suggestion here. However +1 from me.

Thanks Thierry.
This should help:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2117430" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Or this:
https://www.google.ca/search?q=how+edit ... 3&ie=UTF-8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I use to manage a phpBB forum ages ago and it's somewhere in the admin section now but if not it's a simple adjustment of a config file.
But I can't stress how huge of an effect this will have! The default search feature within phpBB is pretty bad so using this is a prefered method for most: Googling the terms: TVpaint + name of problem
I hope this gets the attention it deserves!!

I don't know what happened under the hood, but now I seem to find tvpaint related questions through google silly easily. If it's this title tag thing, thanks for doing this!

Ya, this is it. Before every search result showed only "Welcome to TVPaint Forum"
