Chris - Thanks for the fast reply for the template question... solved the problem.. now I cannot get the full story to display:

template is:
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt">
<p>
{shortstory}
{story}
[readmore] Read more about this person [/readmore] </p>
</div>

site is http://www.trescue.com/staff.shtml?id=5

The long story is only 1 paragraph longer so it should fit in the defined area if I understand a previous post correctly...

For that particular news post, did you enter text for both the 'Short story' & 'Story' boxes?

Found out what I think is the problem, by the looks of it you've set your server to treat shtml files as php files.

This page - staff.shtml

nothing happens when you click the read more link, yet

on this page - staff.php

it works as expected. Hopefully this should point you in the right direction as to fixing this problem.
