Enable Forum Category Display on vBulletin 5.x for Responsive Windows and Mobile Devices
Upon configuring the forums, which are in the main directory of the web server, I found that the much necessary forum category/channel descriptions that were applied, are not visible. It seems if you minimize your browser window to the smallest size (480px) or smaller (mobile), the forum category/channel description is not showing. This requires a .css stylesheet change which is easily manageable through the vBulletin Admin Control Panel.
Login to your vBulletin Forum and follow these steps:
Find the current Style applied to your forum. In my case, I went with Default Style.
Edit the file css_responsive.css
(Perhaps you should make a copy of this somewhere just in case)
CTRL+F (Find [Windows]) - "hide the latest"
Your new file should look something like this. You are welcome to tinker with the rest of these lines of code as well. Removing them allows them to be visible. This code is causing these things to be hidden at certain screen resolutions.
Save the file. You're done!
