A great feature would extend the "Edit contact category" admin page to allow a different text field to show at the top of each individual contact form. For example:

Categories: General, Marketing, Technical
The default description may be used by General/Marketing, but Technical would have different text so that users visiting contact/Technical would see something like:

"You can ask our technical department a question. Please make sure you enter full technical details of the widget you are enquiring about etc".

I agree it would be a good feature and I have seriously thought about adding it. However to add this to my module would require an extra table in the database and more complex code.

You can achieve this by putting the text in a block and assigning that block to only show on the path contact/Technical.

Excuse my ignorance but how can you place text into a block. the only blocks ive been able to create so far have automatically generated ones which have link in them to different categories

Go to menu item "Site Building -> Blocks" admin/build/block and click on the tab add block. You can create a block with text or place a PHP snippet in there.

This is just a plug to add this feature. I can do this with a block, no problem, but it would be far easier for admins of the site to simply add this text when the category is created. I understand it is an extra table, but if you ever decide to add it, I would be delighted!

I echo #6. Our site has scores of blocks. Creating a unique one for each variant of the contact form is just overkill and unnecessary. Another table in the drupal database is far more desirable than manually creating blocks.

I am happy to add this feature if someone wants to submit a patch.
