Is there a way to add a (2 to 3 sentence) forum description at the top of the home page? I understand I could do that with a topic I post to the top of the page, but I would prefer just having a more obvious site description at the top.

By “a topic I post to the top of the page”, do you mean a pinned topic/banner? What do you mean by “more obvious”? If it’s about the style, you can customize the pinned topic appearance with CSS.

Thanks. It would be more like a banner, if that’s the easiest way. I want to put in a brief site description at the top of the forum–for example to replace where the current container under the site header appears.

Thanks. I’ll take a look. I probably want to keep it there for all users.

Then you’ll have to hide the dismiss cross with CSS, probably.

Thanks. Sorry to miss it, but I’m not finding where to add a banner. Do I need a plugin for that?

I see the pin/un-pin option, but where is the banner option? EDIT: I see it now. Thanks. Appears when I click un-pin topic
