moodle 1.8 - social format - can't change forum name

I don't want the home page of a course using Social Format to say "Social Forum". Seems that if I change the name of this forum, that should be reflected on the course's homepage, if for no other reason than to maintain consistency between the forum listing and the home page.

In my site, I can go to course/modedit.php?update=1&return=1 and change the name of the forum. When I do that, it seems to change. That is, I can go to mod/forum/index.php?id=2 and see that the new name is being used.

However, this title doesn't seem to be related to the home page title, even though the posts that go into the forum I renamed are the ones that show up on the course home page.

Currently, I believe this problem roots from the fact that the home page forum title comes from the lang files, and the one in the forum listing comes from the database. This would seem to be an oversight. Otherwise, I'd like to know what benefit this serves so I can properly use forums.

thanks.
