wpForo 1.x.x [Closed] Q/A Forum Description is not displayed on home page or forum page

TIMS Forum · 2017-10-04T21:10:21Z

When I edit my Q/A Forum, I can give it a title and description. I have done these and published the Forum. When I view the Forum, the Q/A Forum description does not display on the Home page. The help text with the description reads "This is a forum description. This content will be displayed under forum title on the forum list."But this does not appear to be happening. I need to put some disclaimer and how-to text in this area and have it display. I did read some other other posts about not wanting to clutter the view with these descriptions, and I understand that. Perhaps next to a Forum with a description, there could be an information icon that shows the description if it is hovered over or clicked on. Or the description could become a sticky post attached to that high-level forum. There's also no way to create a Sticky Post to the high-level Q/A Forum, which would be another way to accomplish this action. A user can only post to a Q/A sub-forum.

Oh! Ok. That is not how the help text reads for the descriptions attached to the blue category panel. And that's what was causing my confusion. Thanks for the clarification. You may want to consider changing the help text in the Admin view to say what you just told me.
