Discourse by default does not have a feature to show a preview of topics created. We encourage users to describe their topics as best they can in the title. The only way to accomplish previews is through additional plugins. This is up to the forum admins to decide on, if there truly is a need/wish for this.

I think you are referring to a topic posted in ‘Announcements’ by our forum admin @oldgods, see below. This category is specifically used by admins/moderators to inform the community of anything important. This topic was created when the new theme design was created, to allow us to report issues, which turned into a nice discussion about the new design.
Forums new design
As you may have noticed, we are working on a re-organisation of the forum with the release of NEXT. We aim to aid in recoverability of topics created on this forum. We do of course welcome any suggestions to further improve on this.
