I'm with you. NO ONE wants, EVER, to have to click on "more..." to read an entire message. Yes, people DO need to do that on, say, Facebook. I suppose that makes it somehow cutting edge, as the ISTCF is supposed to be.
I hope IHub doesn't go there. As I said last night, Facebook and Twitter are not IHub's competition. First of all, they are, in terms of subscribers and of financial backing, way out of IHub's league. I hate to be unkind, but imagining that IHub can give them a run for the money is like imagining that a Pink can successfully go up against Apple.
Why must we be dragged kicking and screaming to a format that is not suitable for the purpose of IHub? I shall tiresomely repeat it: the message here IS the message. It is the central and indispensable part of every page on every board. And nothing should be allowed to interfere with that.
