hi.
the website that Im working on (my first drupal site ) http://www.sydbma.org/bikes

the teasers to the stories are not big/long enough... you might notice that some of the teaser section of the stories are very short while others are longer... and some of the headings dont quite fit under the quite small images.

how do i set the length to be longer ...

i saw some place to use but it made no difference .

cheers in advance

I use the break comment tag. Insert this tag at the point where you want the teaser to end when you edit the node. In case the above doesn't render correctly, it's the "less than, exclamation point, hyphen, hyphen, break, hyphen, hyphen, greater than" tag.

You can do that or go to administer -> Content management -> Post settings then increase "Length of trimmed posts: "

oh I tried that.

not havng much luck at all.

Also i notice that forum front page snippets ate smaller than story ones.

perhaps some config is not refreshing or somehing.. I do click ""CNTRL+SHIFT (refresh)" to re;load the page from server.. but i still get the onle line and then next story on some of the front page entries.
