If that makes sense. Is there a setting I can change? I know in the past I had to set special rules for certain fics that I wanted the first post redownloaded every time I updated the fic with FFF, but that was only on a few fics.
QQ never used to have the summary section, as far as I remember, but when they upgraded the forum last year that started. I never noticed an issue with it before, but there's been a few fics in the last couple months that have done this.

Correct.
The Xenforo forum sites have grown many story-centric features over the years. One of them is a thread description that's associated with the threadmarks.
FFF stores that in the metadata entry
threadmarks_description and, if
use_threadmarks_description:true is set (on by default), will use that for
description.
Otherwise, FFF will take the first
description_limit chars (default:1000) of the first threadmark as the description. (
description_limit applies to all stories, not just xenforo.)
You can turn off
use_threadmarks_description to only ever use first post.
Checking a few stories looking for one with a threadmark desc, it looks like the sites may have also copied the beginning of the first threadmark...
