On the topic of forum descriptions being exposed on the index page...
After reading through this thread, it appears this may be a browser or OS problem where the screen is incorrectly identified as a touch screen. Or it may also be a problem with javascript failing to load. For people who have this problem, please install the Chrome browser and check something for me. Visit your forum page and open the dev tools:

That will open the dev area at the bottom of the window. You will see the source code of the page with the <html> tag at the top. Look for these two classes, "hasJs" and "Touch":

The absence of "hasJs", or the presence of "Touch" would both explain why forum descriptions are exposed.
If you can establish one of these two explanations then we can go from there. Both explanations are likely caused by client bugs or misconfigurations and not a bug in XenForo, but we will determine that once you have established an explanation.
