@ninety. This is one of those instances where accessiblity and usability can clash. The way we deal with page titles is very bad for both usability and accessibility, the ideal is if someone has multiple tabs from the same journal open, each should be distinctly indentifiable within the tab display (Nielsen wrote some very good stuff on this for Alertbox a few years back).

As as I said in another comment, I like the way it works now. Having a custom title (meaningful to the owner but meaningless to other users) instead of the username as the webpage title would make the webpage title totally useless to me.

Edit: Oh and I wish you a speedy recovery. :)
