What happened to FR's article presentation?

Until a short time ago, my FR feed showed the first few lines of each article when I clicked on (for example) "FORUM". That seems to be no longer true.

Now, I am seeing:

INTERNATIONAL HOT AND SPICY FOOD DAY – January 16

Each year on January 16th, International Hot and Spicy Food Day celebrates all the delicious hot and spicy foods around the world.

Most people know that chili peppers are one of the hottest foods on the planet. But did you know that the hottest chili pepper in the world is always changing? This is because chili peppers are constantly evolving. But how is the hottest chili pepper determined? Chili peppers contain capsaicinoid. This is the active compound in chili pepper that’s responsible for its spicy sensation. Capsaicinoids are measured by the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU).

Recently, the Carolina Reaper was named hottest chili pepper. This super spicy chili pepper has an SHU of 2,200,000. This is 200 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper! Can you imagine ...

Is it me, my computer, some settings I messed up?

Or, is it a change of the FR presentation for some reason.

Thanks for any response.

Same thing happened to me several years ago. It was a setting in my profile.

[MustKnowHistory]

There is a line near the top right that says brevity headers text.

Try playing with those. Text might be the one you need.

Brevity: Headers | « Text »

It’s a switch on the page.

[scouter]

Right... THAT’S what it was.

[miserare]

Under latest articles, select “brevity”
for headline only, or “text” for the first few sentences.

[TomGuy]

Just above where the headlines begin, you should see a bar with tabs for Brevity: headers text

Click on the text tab.

You may have inadvertently hit the headers tab.

[ConservativeMind]

You need to click on “text” in the “Articles” bar at the top of the article column.

I feel like I've been here before...

Someone will explain it better but:

• Click ‘Pings’
• You should already be in the ‘Articles’ tab. If not, click it so that it comes to the fore in your display.
• In tiny type on the right side of tab above the first article should be the word ‘Brevity’ and to right of that the words ‘Header | Text’
• You probably have ‘Header’ selected. Select ‘Text’ instead and see if that resolves the issue.

[BradyLS]

Empty thread. Still the last to post!

[AFPhys]

Thanks all of you. I wish I had asked a couple months ago instead of looking all over in settings and scratching the final hairs off my head...

First you need to re-log in.

Life can become increasingly confusing to seniors. It isn't fair!

[AFPhys]

Has nothing to do with “senior”... simply with the demand that everyone on every platform they are interested in using be able to present items they are served in every possible configuration. CSS demands create more malware opportunities than anything else does.

I have been happy with the ancient presentation of FR that was used 20+ years ago. Happily, it has remained pretty much the same. I never noticed the “brevity” switch, and somewhere along the line it nabbed me, and trying to look at my profile switches provided no clues.

In any event, the problem’s done now, thanks to the good folks who answered me above.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Errant clicks getcha all the time...then it's "What the heck? Where am I? How do I get back to where I was?" Drives me nuts.

[logi_cal869]

Right above “next page” at the top, on the right, to the right of “Brevity”, make sure text is selected by appearing as

« Text »

You select text by clicking on it and you’ll get the results you want.

How do I get rid of certain forums that I don’t wish to appear in my feed?
