Maybe the forum description is not parsed by the template parser, so you can not place template tags into it. It seems, this is more like a HTML problem, not forum problem.
You may use normal html urls in description, like:
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/">Site Title</a>
By the way: if you use tags the correct format is: <%url%> and not <url>.
I hope one of the above will help you.
