I've searched everywhere in content/types/
How do I do a "dsm($form_id) at the top of hook_form_alter."

Some other module must be interfering with things....

Install devel module and then add the line

dsm($form_id);

at the top of the hook_form_alter implementation to check the code gets there.

okay,

I have had devel installed but don't understand how to change the implementation of hook_form_alter ? I'm relatively new to drupal.

I don't see why I would use devel in this case, why not edit the file with hook_form_alter ?

I am asking you to test whether this module -- teaser by type -- is reaching its implementation of hook_form_alter by putting an output statement at the top of this implementation.
Devel module gives you the dsm() function which is easy to type. You can print_r if you like.

okay, i did that and went to content types and then the type i want to set it for.. the only thing I noticed which was different, was an information message with three bullets, and no information by any of them.

Weird.. I tried again, put dsm in a new place and all of a sudden it started working.. still no message from dsm though

thanks for the help regardless

Strange.
But glad to hear you've got it working.
