Trim the forum name's length

[mrjnumber1]

It screws up my browsing to try to browse the forums and see this...

Cutstuff Message Board is fine and descriptive.. but it's very unhelpful for browsing. If I forget if I opened a thread or not... I have no idea if I already opened or not. But hey! Cutstuff Message Board. Cutstuff Message Board..... Cutstuff Message Board.

It should at most be something like "CS - [EXPANSION] Mega Man P..."
(I am shameless)

Hopefully I'm not the only person who wants this.

Umm..

Mouse over the tab to see the full name of the page?

I have never had an issue with it, partly because you can mouse over, and partly because I just open every single new post, scan through close, scan through close, scan through post, close, repeat.

Cutstuff message WHAT?  I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM!!!

Anyways, my solution is stop using so dang many tabs/windows.

The point is that one wouldn't have to do this.

I do that too, but sometimes some threads are more interesting and I want or need to check them first (Or say I needed to post a response to a thread - and later forgot because I read 10 other threads).

Your "solution" would be valid if one of two things were true:
1) One could actually see thread names -
2) One didn't use tabbed browsing.

It's not hard to scroll over. It literally only takes seconds.

It literally only takes seconds.

That's the point. It's an unnecessary step. It reduces clarity of where the user is, that's objectively a design flaw.

Sorry NASA, PETA, IBM, and E3, you're not aloud to use abbreviations in your names anymore!

Non-sequitur, but I can spin that one to make my point. I'm advocating usage of "NASA" instead "The National Aeronautics and Space Administration". Although in this case, it's use of "CS" instead off "Cutstuff Message Board - View Topic/Forum".

Otherwise it could read "<Topic Title/Forum Name> - Cutstuff Message Board" That's a nice alternate, but I only see it in Zetaboards.

This is a good alternative, too.
