Showing excerpts versus full content
-
I wish we could choose whether we had excerpts versus full content, especially in archive, category and tag pages. Seems like it wouldn’t be too hard to make that an option. Personally, I think excerpts are annoying and pointless.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You might want to take a look at these two posts by Panos just FYI. He explains what shows where on each theme and also covers the “excerpt” function and what happens when you use it on each theme.

And actually, it would require rewriting, some of the underlying theme files to support all the different variations and then modifying the underlying wordpress core files to support it also. And the core wordpress files are developed on the wordpress.ORG side, and the core development team would have to approve that an implement it in core, so we here at wordpress.COM are sort of at the core developer’s mercy.
When support is back on the 3rd, make sure to send this in as a suggestion from the support contact form so that support can log your request though. I agree it would be a good addition.
