To produce the issue, view this photo: http://test.peakbeta.com/photos/photos/item/80-img-9984/user/josh

Click the album that it's in, you will see that the HTML title says "Josh - Albums - Test Site" instead of "Josh - Boston and Others - Test Site". This issue doesn't seem to happen when straight up going to the album from the gallery page, but does happen when going from a photo to an album.
Hello Josh,

I am really sorry but I am not really sure if I understand your issue here. All the albums page, displays it in the manner of [User Name] - Albums . It doesn't display the album title on the page when you are viewing a specific album. Am I missing anything here?

That's what I thought initially, then I actually saw the album title in once instance. Since I updated to ES 1.2.14 now they are all the same (the format you mentioned). I did have a few mods in that I think affected the title in ES 1.2.13.

Anyways now I'll steer this conversation in a slightly different direction. From a SEO point of view doesn't it make more sense to display the album title in the HTML title instead of the word "Albums"? This way unique content will stand out better in a search engine. There are plenty of people named "Josh" which will be hard to rank anywhere in Google.

Hello Josh,

Ah, I see. I get your point here. Perhaps it makes more sense if the album's title would be used instead. I will try to add this into 1.3

Awesome Mark, glad to hear. From a user standpoint it makes sense, but even more so for SEO.

Considering that I'm leaving for my big trip very soon and will not be around for the release of ES 1.3, I'm giving a little reminder in case this is considered for the release.

Strange, now the issue is not dependent on a scenario and is constantly there. You can see this here:

HTML page titles are very important to SEO which is why I'm taking this seriously.

Hello Josh,

Sorry but I am not really sure if I am following you here as this thread was quite a while ago. What do you mean by "HTML Page Titles"? When I tried viewing the page at http://www.test.alpineascent.com/photos/item/28-grand-teton/user/josh , there is a title tag in the source code.

It says "Josh - Albums - Test Alpine Ascent". This is a bit unspecific and does not say much about the album itself. It should say "Grand Teton - Test Alpine Ascent". Other EasySocial items do this, so should albums. Even if I wasn't worried about consistency, having a bunch of "Josh - Albums - Test Alpine Ascent" through out the site does not give Google unique results to work with. In other words the title is the most important aspect of SEO, if a accurate title cannot display, then when someone searches "Grand Teton" it will never show up.
