Topic: Short Story

I am a Noob at CuteNews and whilst much of the program (Cutenews 1.5.3) is intuitive some bits for me anyway aren't.  When I created my test site I posted a number of test articles as you do, some short, some medium and some very long, they all posted and were readable.  However with the extremely long posts I had an expectation that it would truncate after 10 or 15 lines giving the reader to the option to"Read More" if they wanted to.  They don't on my version.  I searched the forum and there are a number of hacks for this feature for earlier versions of Cutenews, and references to "Short Story" in the latest release but no where can I find any reference to how it should work. 

So my questions are:

1.  Should it work out of the box using the default templates

2.  Is this a user configurable tick box setting that I have missed.

3.  Is there a different template I need to use.

4.  Do I need to hack the code in some way.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can render.

Re: Short Story

Ohhps very Noobie, I have now noticed that when adding a story you can opt to add a long story and a short version of the same story.....  Which works..
