    Oh, alright! thanks. is there a way to change the text though? I want it just to say: read more not the whole topic title..

    That text is placed there by the template. So I guess you need to go template/theme hacking…

    Just noticed myself that the actual wording of the text is inconsistent depending if I view the post on the main page or in an archive or category page.

    In your theme, look for the call to the the_content() function and set the text you want there. I did this:

    <?php the_content('<span class="more">Read more >></span>'); ?>

    BTW: You don’t need to enclose the text in a <span> tag and if you do, your classname may be different anyway.
