    Forum Meta Description in Google Search Results

    I noticed that if I disable the forum description from showing up by setting
    admincp>vb options>forumdisplay options>Enable Forum Description to NO

    It will take away the meta description that appears in Google's search results

    so for example forum X will show in Goolge like this

    Forum X
    150 threads, thread starter, 200 views, bla bla
    http://www.site.com/forum x


    This of course damages the search ranking of that forum therefore am sure that all of you recommend to set that option to yes

    The problem is that I have a customized vb notices for each forum telling guests and members what this and that forum is exactly about

    Ultimately I ended up having double messages on the top saying basically the same (the description and the notice)

    I don't want to disable those notices coz they increased the user engagement significantly

    So is there any way to disable those forum descriptions from showing up yet keeping the meta the description intact so as not to adversely affect search rankings?
