If there isn’t any “MORE” to the Herald article then why have a stupid, annoying “MORE” button?

I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same when I clicked this thread

You gotta translate the page with google.

If you do it properly the button will properly say "Troll" when you select english. If you allow slang it will read "Trolled"

You've got a point there. The link goes to the complete version of the article on a separate page.

Which description would be better, 'Full Story'?

you'll have to just write all your posts and leave out at least a word or two that is only displayed when you click on 'more'. Then Semi4 will have nothing to complain about

Perhaps I was not clear. Sorry if I was a bit muddled. The wording of the ‘MORE’ button is fine. I do not care if it says ‘MORE’ or ‘Full Story”.


If the "complete version of the article" is short enough to be fully displayed on the front of the Herald there is no need for a ‘MORE’ button or a ‘Full Story’ button because the "complete version of the article" is already displayed.


Often when I press the ‘MORE’ button I find that the new page doesn’t have any additional information. If there is no additional information on the ‘MORE’ page there should not be a ‘MORE’ button or a ‘Full Story’ button because the full story is already displayed on the front of the Herald.


Even a one-line announcement on the Herald has a ‘MORE’ button that leads to the exact same one-line announcement. It is annoying to click ‘MORE’ (and it would be annoying to click ‘Full Story’) only to find that there isn’t any more to the story.


If there isn't any 'MORE' to the story then there shouldn't be a 'MORE' button or a 'Full Story' button.


If there isn't any 'MORE' to the story then the button should read, 'Click here to go to another page that has exactly what you have already read with nothing additional to read' and when there is actually more to the story then have a 'MORE' button.


Here is a good example of how the Herald is at the moment: Click here to get 'MORE' about this subject.

I understood that, but I doubt that the CMS is smart enough to detect if it should display that button or not.

At the moment there always has to be a button or never (which would make it hard to read the complete article if there actually is more ).

It is better to have than not have one at all. Thank you for explaining.
