Board Title is only used as the email "from" if you have not set a Default Email Sender Name in email options.
What exactly do you mean by "Website Board Title" - I wasn't even aware of the two different things, I know Board Title is in basic Board Options, where is Website Board Title ?
Default Email Sender Name:_____________ If specified, emails sent by XenForo will default to being from this name. If no value is entered, the board name will be used.
Or is the Board Name different to the Board Title ?
Now when "board title" is very loooong (many words), then it shows very looong in the E-mails as well.
Which is rather confusing for the user, especially at the "initial E-mail" which users are receiving when they sign-up to your website and need to click the Link in the E-mail (confirmation-link).
Meaning:
- being able to have a "short word" (e.g.: "domain.com") for "Board Title" in E-mails via "ACP > Home > Options > Basic Board Information > Board Title"
- still being able to have a looooong "Board Title" (many words) at the website for SEO via "Template Edit at PAGE CONTAINER"
Ideally, XenForo should add an additional field in order for webmasters to define an "E-mail Board Title" in addition to the normal "Website Board Title" at "ACP > Home > Options > Basic Board Information > Board Title"
as far as I can see.... every page is including the "board title" by default already (in addition to the "thread title").
So why should it be very bad for SEO ?

Say Google has listed a thread on your forum. The title shown in the SERP snippet will be the thread title (the length of which you have no control over unless you edit all your members' thread titles), followed by your long board title.
The whole thing will therefore be very very long. Guidelines for a title are 512 pixels, which can be between 40 - 70 characters I think.
