    Hello All;

    I am trying to have add the [FORUMDESCRIPTION] to show up in the Topicsview, but the tag is not recognized.  The issue I am having is the users want to know what the topic is about when they go into the topic listings.  The Forum Description shows up in the Forum view at the Groups level, but does not show up when you get to the topics view level.

    Can this be done?

    and 

    How can this be done?

    Thanks!!

    I don't think [FORUMDESCRIPTION] is the token you want. That token will just display the description of a forum. It is used on the forums list.

    The Blogs template used here: http://www.activemodules.com/blogs/will/

    Shows a short description of the topic, and is accomplished by using the [BODY:150] token. The 150 is the number of characters you wish to appear.
