    You are now asking a lot of questions that have answers already provided if you are prepared to search for them.

    Please use the forum's search box before asking a question, including what you have tried to do yourself.

    You clearly want to make styling adjustments to your forum, so you should learn the basics of how to use a web inspector and CSS to achieve your aims.

    Generally spoken, CSS can change font, color, size - well it can change style. You can use custom CSS most easiest with the CSSEdit plugin.

    If you want to add content, than there are two differences: static and dynamic text.

    1. If you like to add dynamic text, text that should be different on special conditions, you most probably need a custom plugin.
    2. When you simply want to add a custom line of text, there is no "right" answer.
      2.1 You could create a custom theme and enclose the text in the default master.
      2.2 Maybe you would even need a plugin to add the text where you like.
      2.3 If you are lucky, you could already change the text with a translation!
      2.4 I would shy away from that, but you can also use the CSS content after.

    In order to get a helpful answer, you have to learn how to ask a good question ;)

  • Yes i did added the site description but the it doesn't show up! @vrijvlinder

  • I don't know what theme you are using, but I'd suggest you first take a look at this discussion

    And before you start doing a lot of modifications, start with the basic things...

    Out of the box and with some addons, you can do wonders.

  • I gave you a hint, but if you are are going edit a file you need to have some idea what you are doing. If the file is not clear enough to you, learning some basic html and css won't hurt.

    grep is your friend.

  • i know you told me to edit default.master.phl but the thing i am asking is where exactly i can add my description its as simple as that :anguished:@x00

    Take a look at the Pockets plugin, but be very careful.
    I use it to place some heading and in combination of few css changes (adding display:none) changed the logo and added my own description.
    I am not a programmer and I was able to do it so you may too
