Had an email inc this:

How did you get rid of all the "RE:" in all the forums? And how did you you make each threads page titles ONLY the title of the thread?

I replied:

I got this from bestofjoomla forum, thread on fireboard and seo.
Asked re getting titles from titles; reply below. (Don't know if this fixed about "Re" - maybe, but I didn't do anything extra for this, that I recall.

... posting the answer I used below: hope it also works for you!
[I'm also using sh404sef - latest version is ok with more than one page to a thread; previously, I found that trying to follow link to page 2, 3 led to error]

Page title from first post instead of last:

1. Open /components/com_fireboard/template/default/view.php

2. Find the lines (could be similar, not identical):

//set page title if on Mambo 4.5.2+
if ($leaf->parent == 0)...

Replace the if clause with:
//set page title if on Mambo 4.5.2+
if ($leaf->parent == 0) {
$mainframe->setPageTitle($objCatInfo->name . ' - ' . $jr_topic_title);
}

or, if you don't want the forum name displayed, with:

//set page title if on Mambo 4.5.2+
if ($leaf->parent == 0) {
$mainframe->setPageTitle($jr_topic_title);
}

3. Enjoy.
