 * Is there add/change a forum description underneath the breadcrumb
    I can select
   display description under forum display option 6 however I’m not sure where I
   add/edit this text.

 * Have you tried going into the Dashboard > Forums > All Forums
    then ‘edit’ on
   the forum and add a description there? I’ve done too much customising of my theme
   to check this for you but I’m pretty sure that’s where you add your descriptions.

 * Thanks for the reply.
 * Yes you are right this does edit the description for the forum but I was trying
   to find a way to add a description to the main area where all the forums are 
   listed.
 * Just a description on how all the forums should be used and functionality etc.
