How can one go about adding a description to the top of each forum's page? The current description option in the admin CP only shows that description on the root homepage. (i.e. www.domain.com/forum)

I would like to have a different description on the top of each forum's actual page (i.e. www.domain.com/forum/page1). I want to do this for SEO purposes. This way let's say there are 10 different pages of your forum about different subjects. I want those keywords/descriptions on each of those 10 pages.

I feel the homepage descriptions serve no good because I don't want to clutter up the homepage with paragraph long descriptions under each forum

I use both 3.7.x and 3.6.x on a different forum and would like to do it on both.

Any ideas?

Have you tried vboptions > forum display options > enable forum description > Yes ? (Your links don't help me since I'm totally unfamiliar with what SEO does to links.)

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
