Why meta tag title and description are the same? January 07, 2018, 07:52:24 am Just curious to know why the meta title and description are identical. In vbulletin/XF/WBB/IPB the description uses the first words from the first post, in mybb there is no meta description, in phpBB and SMF I see the same behaviour as in elkarte.
