We have had a few SEO improvements lately (e.g. noindexing of forums) but the main things in this regard that I would like to see now are:
The Google search results otherwise just show the users's title and the description may be the first sentence or some random text from the thread. having control means you can make the search results look more attractive, useful and clickable.
Noindexing threads is useful to stop a thread from being indexed that you still might want on the forum, but is just not so useful as search result. Also Google may only index a certain number of threads, so you want it to concentrate on what you consider the best ones to attract traffic.
Obviously there could be a lot more, for me custom external rel = canonical would be good, but I'm just mentioning a very few in the hope there is more chance of implementation if we aren't too demanding.
I hope others can also see the need for these simple features and upvote, thank you!

- Custom meta description for threads
- Custom meta title for threads
- no index for individual threads
