Can you share your discovery, kengalloway ?

Thx. I had previously altered the CSS (below) and that seemed to minimize the padding–but the space with the “Click for the rest…”
remains after the expansion–which is ok I guess but it would be nice if it could disappear. As you can see, I used a rather broad-brush approach and zeroed out everything in the CSS. I needed to do something like this because there was a border within a border that I needed to remove to get a look consistent with the upper grid. I can’t really say I know what I did but it seemed to work.

I will try your plugin. Thx for all your help.

.toggle {background:#F6F6F6;margin-bottom: 0px; border: 0px solid #E1E1E1;border-bottom: 0px solid #979797;padding: 0px 0px;border-radius: 0px;-moz-border-radius: 0px;-webkit-border-radius: 0px;position: relative;box-shadow: 0 0px 0px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);-moz-box-shadow: 0 0px 0px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0px 0px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0); }

Actually it was an in “insert more” [toggle] tag I used. I did try it earlier inside a <td> block that spanned the entire column and that worked but I wasn’t able to get it so the outer side borders perfectly aligned with the rest of the upper table–I think that could probably be done in CSS but I’m not too skilled in that area. So I did what could in CSSS and found it easier to do it as 2 tables. Thx!

thx for your response. I really do need to keep the user on the home page though.
Wordpress does have the ‘read more’ tag which I am already using immediately below the (partial/upper) table–when the user clicks it, the second lower half of the table appears immediately below. There is a small vertical gap between the two tables that I was hoping to prevent.

Thx

yes–I definitely need some guidance on the CSS too. Otherwise it’s of no help to me

Let me rephrase the question then. I do not have BBPress…how do I pull the username of the user who logs in to make comments and use it in text.

I wouldn’t necessarily be using it in a bbpress context–I just mentioned it in case that made things easier. I assume the same user login that allows a visitor to post a comment on blogs would apply. Ideally there would just be a simple tag such as <CurrentVisitorUserName> that I could use in any text I present on the site.

…nevermind–I see in wordpress there’s a MORE button you can add in edit post and that works fine for me in the theme

Well, the actual posts can be edited outside the theme and in the wordpress dashboard. If I didn’t use a commercial theme, how would you do it–can it be done in the Dashboard/Edit Post block with a script or something? You can add Toggle blocks here so it would seem you might be able to do other expansion-related changes. Thx
