Could you tell me which version of Evergreen you're looking at? I'm
wondering if you're looking at a system with code that was added during
3.02 that provides more specific page titles.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1656036
We made a lot of improvements to the page titles with that bug, but if
they still are not specific enough, could you let us know what would
need to be done to make them more workable?
Thanks!
Kathy
