This started happening more and more and now is all the time (like 50%).

The <{$xoops_pagetitle}> variable fails to load and items that use this variable show a blank.

Like the <title>, etc, nothing shows, but if you refresh, it will show up correctly, but might take a refresh or two.

This seems to happen as the site is taxed (IE - I hit several pages in a row and then it'll "fail" and produce a blank pagetitle.

I use this variable in the footer also and all instances of the variable are blank when it fails.

I suppose it's possible that as the site has gotten busier, the systems is causing it to fail more often, but why?

Google listings of pages are now over 50% "empty" and thus are just the generic module name and site name. So, it's not just browsers getting a "failed pagetitle", but spiders as well.

Anybody else seen this? Doesn't seem like a cache issue...

How can I force it to pull this variable even if it is busy? Or, just fix it to work 100% of the time?

Thanks.
