Jazzing up your forum description display
Help improve your Search Engine keyword density by adding in topic relevant keywords which change with each thread

This modification is for the Element skin by www.vbstyles.com
Purchase here: * Michaelmbers/signup.php" target="_blank">http://www.vbstyles.com/members/signup.php

When viewing a specific forum index you normally find that a small blue table wil be displaye below the navigation bar which is full of relevant keywords to help boost of your content relevancy for search engine spiders. But, when viewing a thread still the forum description is displayed i'd prefer for this to change and provide more topic relevant keywords in this table instead so if you like me want the change, here is the code:

Quote:
<!-- Element Forum Description -->
<if condition="$thread[title]">
<div class="element_forumdesc_spacer"></div>
<div class="element_forumdesc_border"><div class="element_forumdesc"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$thread[title]</strong><if condition="$pagenumber>1"> Page $pagenumber</if>. Discuss $thread[title], on The Staff Lounge, for all your forum feedback resources. We provide you with hints, tips, articles and discussions on how to acheive forum success. $foruminfo[title].</span></div></div>

<else />

<if condition="$foruminfo[title]">
<div class="element_forumdesc_spacer"></div>
<div class="element_forumdesc_border"><div class="element_forumdesc"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$foruminfo[title]</strong> $foruminfo[description]</span></div></div>
</if></if>
<!-- /Element Forum Description -->
