If you have your forum set to category view, this tip will show you how you can add HTML to each category description.

Here is a screenshot of the end result; As you will see, we have added a video to the "Elections, Voting and Politics" category description.


Achieving this is simple. Just go to your dashboard and then look under settings for features.
Click that. Then click the sub tab forum. Scroll down to a category description and add your html to the box. Click save.

That's it! You're all done!

The forum is the most visited feature on NING network and hopefully some of you will find this tip useful.
