This template mod is verified working in 5.2.4. If you have short descriptions and want to save some realestate, you can slide the description in right next to the category by using a span in the existing line instead.

On or about line 8 in display_forum_list, you will find this code.

Code:

<tr class="category-header" id="forum{vb:raw channel.nodeid}">

                        <td colspan="4"><a class="category" data-nodeid="{vb:raw channel.nodeid}" href="{vb:url {vb:raw channel.routeid}}">{vb:raw channel.title}</a></td>

                </tr>

Change to:

Code:

<tr class="category-header" id="forum{vb:raw channel.nodeid}">

                        <td colspan="4"><a class="category" data-nodeid="{vb:raw channel.nodeid}" href="{vb:url {vb:raw channel.routeid}}">{vb:raw channel.title}</a><span class="category-description">{vb:raw channel.description}</span></td>

                </tr>

Then add CSS for the desired appearance.

Personally, I prefer to display the forum description over the category description to let users know what a forum channel is about. I think when posting, users will care more on what a forum channel is for rather than what a category is for.

I have a free mod for that which doesn't require editing templates.
