Hi All,

I now know there is a feature in vBulletin which allows you to put the description on the front page of the board into the forum. So that it is up the top like here on vbulletin.org. However I would like this to be customisable like in IPB.

Demo: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showforum=2

Look at the top of their forum, there is rules and some other information that can be put into that box. I personally would love to see something similar for vBulletin that is customisable like in IPB. This is one feature I thought VB had before I purchased, and it is a ripe pain not having it as it is an ideal place to put things that you want read without them opening or skipping sticky notes.

Regards,

Joel

hi ragtek,

Does it also display in the top of the topics or just the forums ?

in forumdisplay just forums, but you could put that also in the showthread
