Remove " … " from the end of every excerpt – main index

I am also keen to remove the black banner at top of page for WordPress. Thanks

you will need to edit lib/functions/theme-functions.php line 460

if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) {
    array_pop($excerpt);
    $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'...';
  } else {
    $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'...';
  }

delete the …, leave the quote.

its the admin bar, go to wp-admin->profile to disable it.

Great that perfectly got rid of the “…” thanks again for the speedy response!
And it turned out the black bar (admin) was as a result of the buddy press plug in. I was able to disable the admin bar for non-logged in users by going to Settings -> buddy press -> settings -> uncheck box !
