Great product, thanks for making it available. I'm trying to display the top level category description at the top of the page that displays the categories of products for sale in our store. What is currently displayed is shown in image 1. See image 2 for the desired look - which comes from another shopping cart we have installed. The menu settings are shown in image 3, and "Show description" is set to "Yes". I've tried tweaking every setting I can find.. and nothing works. What do I have to do to display that description? Do I have to modify a view? Any help would be much appreciated!

Your issue comes from the link you're using. The link you gave us doesn't have the Itemid parameter which specifies to Joomla the current menu item. So if you don't tell the system which menu item to use, it's useless you configure a menu item. Add &Itemid=XXX where XXX is the id of your menu item at the end of your link, and you'll see that it will work.
