#12Come on people use the feature request link!!!!
Not the most effective method of eliciting a response, so far as I can tell. I submitted this same request a while ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=9337
And I also made the request nine days ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=13273 We need more feedback in that feature request thread really.
Perhaps the problem is due to the code starting to emit HTML very early on, before it knows what the title should be, in order to start providing data to the browser. As opposed to building all the HTML for the page before sending a byte.

As I said on the feature request thread, "The HTML header's title should have more page context in it so the browser's Back menu isn't a list of identical titles making selection difficult."
So if I'm viewing a comment, e.g. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=13273 , the title could be "ralph's comment #13273 on Please tell us what features you'd like in news.ycombinator". Just sticking to the thread's title isn't sufficient since I'll still end up with many Back menu items the same as I traverse the "parent" links. Each different page should ideally have a distinct title.
