I've noticed quite a few pages being labeled as needing "HTML Improvements" in Google Webmaster tools due to duplicate meta descriptions and titles.

The pages below all have the "default" vbulletin site meta description and title which is causing Google to flag them as needing improvements:
1) All CMS Category Pages
2) All Forum Tag Pages


I also get duplicate meta description and title warnings for the Downloads mod when a download category extends multiple pages. Could you add the download page number to meta description and title to fix this (not sure if I should be posting this request under the downloads mod).

Edit: added reference to duplicate titles also

The CMS is actually a Forum Ads bug that was fixed in v2.0.0 Beta 2, fixed by disabling the Forum Ads system on CMS pages. I recommend performing that upgrade to sort out that issue.
 
Update: In the next version, I will implement an option to toggle Meta Description changes for the Tag List and Tag Cloud pages. You'll be able to input your own description using replacement variables as well :)
