Hi,
I wanted to make the teaser text of the views module smaller. It has about 480 characters and is bigger than a standart teaser text on news websites (about 220 chars). Is this a Theme or Module issue and how can I change this? Couldn't find a related option in the views module. TIA

Your tip worked like a charm!
