Thank You

You need to edit the display_Forums_list template and add this code just under the "category-header" code section on or about line 10. You can also add this code to the display_Forums_item template to display the description in the individual forum view. This CSS will also need to be written for the responsive view with @media queries

<tr>
     <td colspan="4"><a class="category-description">{vb:raw channel.description}</a></td>
</tr>

add to css_additional.css, adjust padding, fontsize, and colors as necessary for your taste.

a.category-description {
  background: #F0F0F0;
  float: left;
  color: black!important;
  width: 100%;
}

What is the process for making this work with version 5.1.10?

[napy8gen]

The code supplied by Replicant is good for vb5.1.10

Style manager> style name> edit templates> display templates> display_forum_list

One more question, how would I move over the txt right under the Heading? See below for an example

If you are using Replicant code the category description is wrap in link <a></a> which I think it may not actually serve the purpose as description as it is not link. We can change the link<a> to <div></div> or a<p></p> or any html tag that serve your purpose as text description.

1)so change first in Style manager> style name> edit templates> display templates> display_forum_list> Replace the replicant code with this one. Please see above screenshot in my first reply to see the exact location.

<tr>
     <td colspan="4"><div class="category-description">{vb:raw channel.description}</div></td>
</tr>

2)go to style manager> style name> edit templates> css templates> css_additional.css> paste below code inside.

.category-description {
 padding-left:14px;
}

See that this css class has no a. in front of it like original. It will work on any html tag you choose that defined this class. Class can be used repeatedly not like an css id.

Try increase or decrease value as fit because I have not tested it.
I prefer padding from margin.
