Imo that way is the best, because you have an idea of what the news is about, and anyway the only interest of displaying title only would be to put more news on the same page, which is useless considering the amount of news posted on the site.

Alcohol is the answer, but I can't remember the question!

well yea, having more then 10 news posts would be worthless, and thats not the point. I was considering using the room for other fixtures like random videos to try to entice people and create a more "controled" layout cause as you can see, the teaser's length can vary from 2 lines to like 4 long paragraphs.

Not saying I would do just random videos or whatever, but they could be the latest video for each game, and the games could be random or a number of different things.. would provide a more graphical homepage and could be easier to get a quicker overview.

just control the lenght of the teaser? make it automatically cut off at a certian lenght and add a "more info" hyperlink. that would solve any problem we have with the current news layout (which is fine)

more complicated then that fei, anyway it was just an idea.. v9 already had it setup similar to how it is currently anyway but just wanted to know what people thought.
