Where does it finish?

[archcommus]

On the main page of AT...

It has the title, then under that it starts introducing it, but the sentence doesn't finish, and I don't know where it does. I've always wondered this.

Click on the blue title, that's the link to the story.

I don't think you understand. Underneath the title, it starts introducing the article. The sentence does not end and ends with ... . If you read the article, that ISN'T the first line of the article, or even anywhere IN the article. So where is that line from, and where does it finish at?

When they write "..." it means you have to click the link to read the article. Do you expect them to post the entire articles on the main page?

Umm...no. You still don't get it. The sentence from the main page underneath the title is not IN the article anywhere, I'm asking where THAT sentence from the main page finishes at.

If you click on the related section of the article, it has the full text. There are space restraints on the main page; I would imagine that this is why they crop the sentences.

 

[archcommus]

The sentence that you see on the main page that is cropped does not appear anywhere in the article.

I know. It's in the related section though. It does exist. My above post should be marked as the answer and you should now be a happy and satisfied person. :beer:

You're welcome.
Maybe they'll make new shorter article descriptions for the main page; they're constantly revising it.

 

[archcommus]

I think they should. Or, show the full description from the related section text, because usually it's only a couple words longer than what they show on the main page. It's just confusing, having that text there, someone goes to read the article, and the sentence that didn't finish isn't there.
