Forum Display Options (forumdisplay)
Settings > Options > Forum Display Options (forumdisplay)- Enable Forum Description
This option displays the forum description in the navbar. Helps visitors to know what the topic of a forum is, as well as possibly increasing search engine rankings.
- Show Users Browsing Forums
Enabling this option will show the current users browsing a particular forum on forumdisplay.php while adding one query. This can have an effect on performance. The Alphabetical option requires more resources than the random option.

The number of threads to display on a forum page before splitting it over multiple pages.
Note: This number must be at least 1.

When linking to multiple pages in the forum display, this allows you to set the cut-off point on which long posts stop adding more page numbers and are replaced by 'more...'
- Length of Thread Preview Text
This setting allows you to specify how many characters of the first post in a thread to display in the 'title' tag of the thread title on the forumdisplay page.
Set this value to 0 to disable thread previews.
