not resolved

In my theme "shoutbox", I have it set to display 3 "full sized entries" at the top in the "Main News Page" section. How can I set those posts to ACTUALLY be full length posts?
I would also like to make the length of text longer on the category pages.
Thank you so much for your help!!
Hey,
In your includes folder open up loop-index.php, at line 11 you'll see $excerpt_big = 150;
Change this number to any value you think is high enough for all your characters to fit.
You can do the same in loop-archive.php on line 17 with
$excerpt = 75;
This will also affect Archive pages though.

I changed the number as you said... it did work for the archive posts, but it didn't work for the home page top posts? I even changed the number to 10,000 just to be sure & they didn't change at all? Is there another setting that I should be looking at?
Thanks so much,
Pearl

It seems like there is a limit to the number it will allow - it seems to be somewhere around 325 or so.
I have really tried to find some sort of other setting / code / area to change / files to change /
I manually went through all the posts in the "shoutbox" forum area / with no answers.
If you can please give me the "clue" as to where to look to help the front blog "full posts" actually become
full posts, I would SO appreciate it!
** Having more text on your page helps your site rank better in google, because they feel you have unique
content to offer - thus - I would like to try to include at least the few top posts in full text.
Thanks so much

ps - I didn't want you to think that I was leaving everything up to you without trying to help myself :) I also
want to buy my 2nd theme, but I'm a bit nervous to buy another one until I can get this little basic item
figured out.
This is on the shoutbox forums somewhere frugally4u. I've seen it asked a few times. Try some of the earlier entries. You have to change the loop, but off the top of my head I can't remember how exactly.
Hey,
in includes/loop.index.php replace:
if(!is_single())
{
echo avia_excerpt($excerpt);
}
else
{
the_content();
}with:
the_content();2) ** Having more text on your page helps your site rank better in google, because they feel you have unique

I doubt this is right because you create duplicate content which eventually can harm your seo. Obviously the "unique" content is already on the single page....
