Rikki Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Alternative way of looking at it: the description logically describes everything within the forum - subforums included. Subforums aren't a separate entity of the parent, they're a child of it - just like the topics inside the parent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see a forum that has a subforum and a description underneath it, I can understand why some will think the description belongs to the subforum instead of the parent. Anywho, just my 2¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikestart Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The subforums are indented, while the forum title and description is not. Elements at the same indent-level refer to each other directly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ian Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Personally I think sub-forums should be below forums as this is how the index page would suggest. They are sub after all and the parent should come first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
