The Read More option is pretty irritating...
I would want Drupal to diplay the entire post instead of asking users to click Read More to do so..

Please help me regarding this issue...

Thank you.

administer -> settings -> posts

set Length of trimmed posts: to unlimited.

Also, you can control the page break by including '<!--break-->' in the post body itself, where you want the break to occur.

You could also build a custom node list using the views module. Check out views_ui while you're at it. You can specify "full nodes", teaser lists, sortable/searchable tables, etc.

I have tried all of these options. And the link is still there. I have tried changing the trim settings, I am currently using a view as a full node, and it's still there. I am using PHP Template. and my node.tpl.php has this code in it:

  <div class="content">
    <?php print $content; ?>
    <?php if (!$page): ?>
      <a href="<?php print $node_url ?>">More...</a>
    <?php endif; ?>
  </div>

I think it thinks if you are not on the exact node page it should print the tag. Any ideas?

I know it's late, but just in case someone else ran into the same trouble: I solved it by inserting "<!--break-->" as the last line of the page body.

For me, what I did was to change the Length of trimmed post (under post settings) to unlimited and in the "edit mode" of the Page, I checked join summary.

which works in Drupal 6.x only. This thread was originally about Drupal 4.7.x and in that version you didn't have the ability to join summary.

I see... I am totally new to Drupal but starting to get my hands dirty with it. So can I say that for Drupal 6, the "< ! --break-- >" solution actually is not working?

did not work for me

what did was

administer > post setttings > 'length of trimmed posts' to unlimited

then i had to edit my post (i just clicked edit - i didn't actually change anything), save the page and no more 'Read More'

In my case it was as easy as adjusting the css for mytree theme drupal 6 by adding display none:

.read_more
{
	margin: 5px 0px;
	text-align:left;
	display:none;
}

happy hunting

Good point that, changing the length of trimmed posts to unlimited only affects posts saved after the settings changed.

So if you want it to affect existing posts just hit edit then save as mentioned above.

you can use bulk operations on content to make the changes to previously published nodes.

Simply unpublish and republish all content using administer -> content
using views_bulk_operations.module helps as well.

another way to reset teasers with the http://drupal.org/project/retease module.

You can set teaser length to "unlimited".

To stop the "Read more" from appearing, you may use the project Fix teaserlinks.
