Changed my meta description a few days ago and since then google has crawled the site quite alot! Anyway part of it as changed but not to what i wanted.

When i changed the welcome to the forum part and then google crawled me that changed but not the description i wanted.

example - Welcome to Total Football Forums - Please register to gain full access to our forum.

originally it was Welcome to Forums - Please register to gain full access to our forum and resources.

So looking at the picture it's obviously changed but not to the actual description.

Here is my index template.

<html>
<head>
<title>{$mybb->settings['bbname']}</title>
{$headerinclude}
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	lang.no_new_posts = "{$lang->no_new_posts}";
	lang.click_mark_read = "{$lang->click_mark_read}";
// -->

<meta name="description" content="Total Football Forums is one of the best, diverse and friendliest forums around" />

</script>
</head>
<body class="page_index">
{$header}
{$forums}
{$boardstats}


</dl>
<br style="clear: both" />
{$footer}
</body>
</html>
You have your meta tag inside a script tag. You need to have it outside of the script tag in the head section.
