[Only Topic] Site Name Not Changing

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 5:34 am

Hi,

I have changed my site name from the ACP to another but it does not show up on the site.

here are just a few Screenshots to understand what I am saying:
I want this:

But after I click save, I get my old forum's name:

???

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

It might seem like stating the obvious, but sometimes the simple things work - have you tried closing and re-opening your browser, and also logging in and out of your forum?

Apologies if you have Smile

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 5:38 am

Yes: I have logged in and out 3 times. Changed to IE, FF and Opera. Cleared my cache and cookies.

If its just my end, the site name (on the tab) should be GraphicsCode: http://www.graphicscode.net/

But for some weird reason, its not.

Thanks for the quick reply though, lottieb.

I know I changed mine at some point, but it's so far back in my fiddling that I can't remember if it lhappened straightaway or not LOL!

Could it be because of my domain name? I'm pretty sure I changed it also a while back, but this time it just won't budge.

Have you added something in Display>generalities
Addition tags?

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 7:49 am

Nope. Even the " Referencing : metatags " has GD Art | Graphic Design Forum instead of GraphicsCode. I have also participated in the Forums Directory, but I haven't changed anything.

by **Sanket** on September 3rd 2009, 7:53 am

So now in the site description what do you see?

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 7:54 am

For the Referencing: Metatags??? I have it as "GraphicsCode | Graphics and Web Design Forum". For the overall forum description, I have nothing in it.

by **Sanket** on September 3rd 2009, 7:56 am

You should try firefox & add it in the site description.

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 8:00 am

Still no luck. Sanket, could you please check my forum and see what name does the tab display? Thanks.

by **Sanket** on September 3rd 2009, 8:04 am

It shows GD Art | Graphic design forum

however, i am unable to understand how come nothing gets saved to the site description.

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 8:09 am

So is there any other way that you know of? Could an admin like Typlo do anything about it?

by **Sanket** on September 3rd 2009, 8:21 am

I want to first see the screenshots of any codes that you have entered in the homepage message, site description & meta tags or anywhere else.

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 8:31 am

There's not much to show you. Everything seems correct. No codes have been added, but here are the shots: [BTW, removed the private or unnecessary parts]

by **Sanket** on September 3rd 2009, 8:36 am

Thanks. I think it should go into the need of technicians.

Moved to Need of technicians.

by dotDavid on September 3rd 2009, 8:39 am

Thanks Sanket. Hopefully it can be fixed.

by Dracula on September 3rd 2009, 3:50 pm

ahh young blood i think you have a problem.

by bubalo1 on September 4th 2009, 2:29 am

same problem

by MaxPayne on September 4th 2009, 7:55 am

I have the same problem. I figured out that the "Homepage name" option is missing. There are only 2 settings under Configuration > General: "Site name" and "Site discription" but there is no Homepage name setting. PLZ help.

Edit: Here is a turtorial that includes the Homepage name option:

Any suggestions?

by Khan_Adrian on September 4th 2009, 10:01 am

by Boomstick on September 4th 2009, 11:25 am

Is it solved for everyone now? If someone still has issues post the links of your forum.
