When you view the "details" page for monsters like the Hurricane and the Skyweaver from Princes of the Apocalypse, only the stat block appears, but none of the accompanying descriptive text for these monsters are there. Similarly, with an NPC like Thurl Merosska. I assume this is not intended behavior. I recall a month or two ago, there were similar issues with monsters from the Monster Manual not having descriptive text, and that was fixed pretty quickly. Can this also be fixed? This becomes much more important for the utility of things like the encounter builder, since the "view details" link doesn't take you to the source book, only the "details" page, which it turns out, doesn't actually have the details.
I understand the rules against thread necromancy, but since this hasn't gotten any response, and the issue has not been fixed, I'm wondering if a mod can direct me to a better place to point this issue out. I had the same problem when using the encounter builder with Shoalar Quanderil in PotA... the "View Details" button in the encounter builder takes me to the NPC/monster page, which does not include the relevant text description for the character.
You're right; the Skyweaver does now have the appropriate description, so perhaps it's in progress. I suppose I should have put this in the "Bugs & Support" forum in the first place; I've asked that this thread be moved there.

Have you tried the bugs subforum? Also I did a quick search and Skyweaver appears to have had their description added, so maybe they're working on it.
