Actually this has bothered me since several versions back.
When you initially create a Forum Topic under a category, you're not required to enter a message description for the Forum Topic.
However if you try to edit the Forum Topic, like changing the name, the script will complain that you need a message description.
A little consistency here would nice. Either make it required for both create and edit or make it both not required.

I don't get this problem. I am forced to enter both a subject and a new message for a new forum under a category.
Same if I add a new topic in a forum. It insists on the subject and the message being populated.

I have the exact same experience as Aznknight. (And yes, it has been a bother...)
If you create a new forum, adding the "descriptive message text" is apparently optional. But, if you ever try to edit that forum info (usually occurs when you are messing around with re-ordering...), it will then demand the addition of message text.

Oh, the subject was 3.1sr4... (maybe it's only been an issue through the sr3 betas into sr4)

<-- bump -->
This one is easy to fix. In post_info.asp (Alpha 8) around line 673, change this:if txtMessage = "" then Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must Enter a Message for the New Forum</li>" end if to this:if txtMessage = " " then Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must Enter a Message for the New Forum</li>" end if

hmmm... I was thinking... perhaps the message should not be required... since only admins will be posting them :) The title is definately required.
