   Hello,

   I've set up a pages to display content from specific categories by basically copying the index page loop in addition to this line:
   <?php query_posts('category_name=NEWS&showposts=5'); ?>

   It all works great except that it ignores the MORE tag in each story. If I use excerpt, that works... but I don't want that, I want to have a "Read on..." link.

   I've tried so many ways of coding, I'm assuming a PAGE is somehow automatically trained to ignore MORE tags. The same loop works great in the ARCHIVE page and it properly displays the MORE tag, so I know it's not a problem with my loop, which, just so you know, looks like this:

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="post">
   <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   <p>By: <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> &bull; Filed under: <?php the_category(', '); ?>
   <?php edit_post_link('[edit post]',' &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ',''); ?>
   </p>
   
   <div class="contenttext">
   <?php /* the_excerpt(); */ ?>
   <?php the_content('<p>Read more &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   </div>
   
   <p class="postmeta">
   <span class="timestamp">Posted on <?php the_time('j F, Y (H:i)') ?> </span>
   <br />
   <?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?>
   <?php comments_popup_link( 'No Comments Yet', 'Comments: 1', 'Comments: %', '', ''); ?></p>
   </div>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Please, does anyone have any suggestions?

   HOLY CRAP! I've been looking non-stop for days! I knew there had to be something about there but I just couldn't find it!

   Thanks so much. It works :)
