In forumstyled.php the variable $DefaultPageTextFmt gets redefined for
the forum group(s). for this to work each forum group needs to be
added to the $ForumList array. Like

      $ForumList[] = 'Forum';
      
And you add more groups the same way.
Maybe this is not the right way to add to the array?

this is the code in forumstyled.php:
# default forum group:
$ForumList[] = 'Forum';

# defines text to be displayed when new topic page gets created
$fgrp = FmtPageName('$Group',$pagename);
foreach ($ForumList as $fl) {
    if($fgrp==$fl) {
    $DefaultPageTextFmt = 'Compose message, add author name, and click post';
    }
};

Anyone seeing a flaw here please advice!

The topic title is the page name. You can also use {$Title} in the
page i suppose.

you can add this to config.php:

# exclude current page
$SearchPatterns['normal'][] = FmtPageName('!^$Group\\.$Name$!', $pagename);

which should suppress the forum's HomePage being listed on itself.
