This is how I did it.

Admin CP - VBulletin options - scroll down to where it says Site Name / URL / Contact Details and the third option says Homepage name - type in whatever you want

Hi
Thanks for the reply
I didn't think that would work for my portal page but of course it did.

Yes, but this also shows the link and title at the bottom of every page. What about if I only wanted it to show in the page title and not at the bottom?

Really not a nice solution what is currently happening.

I agree, I wanted to have a long titile at the top and a very short title at the bottom...i have no idea why they are linked

[aacircle]

Yeh, it's crazy why they are linked. Maybe we'll find the solution soon.. :)

There must be a way because if you go to the home page of vbadvanced, you will notice the long page title, yet short link in the footer.

That's because we've modified the adv_portal template to include this code for the title tag. ;)

<title>$vboptions[hometitle] <if condition="$pages['name'] == 'home'"> - vBulletin Portal, Gallery, and Links Directory!</if> <if condition="$pagetitle">- $pagetitle</if></title>

Hey that's great Brian! Thanks for your insight. Just used it myself too!
