Quoting Stephen Wills developer@blessedherbs.com:
I am using the page template to create a home page and the content body is getting truncated with a "read more" button on it. Can I disable that without hacking code? Do I need to learn how to use Panels already?
Go to http: //drupal5.sample.org/admin/content/node-settings (Administer->Content management->Post settings) and change the "Length of trimmed posts" setting to 0. You will need to edit and save any previously modified pages. We need to think about moving this control to per content type. Then Page could always be 0 while Story would be trimmed.
Alternately you can insert <!--break--> at the end of the page to change per page where the post is trimmed. When at the bottom of the page, it will never be trimmed.
