Check on the Header of your templates u will see

<title> </title>

Invision Power Board will be inside that remove it and add it, if its not remove all stuff between those <title> tags and add your own.

Thanks a lot Sponge bob and please tell me about the favicon too!

Not used IPB but at a guess your favicon should reside in the forum root directory on your server and be favicon.ico backup this first and replace with one of your own and that should be it (I think).

Board NameThis is the name of the board. It is used as the first link in the navigation menu, etc.

@Itsmy :: It seems like it did work for him

For favicon i think best is to change the favicon.ico file to your own.

Thats it.

Might of worked, but viewing a thread or certain forum, will just have the board name in the tab 24/7

Yep true Sorry at first did not read that its for I.P.B

Follow what Messiah Said for the title

Exactly, you won't get to see the topic name = not good for SEO.

You can either replace favicon.ico from your root forum directory or you can go to your ipb skin templates and edit the directory/link to the favicon.
