That (JustinTadlocv’s) sounds like quite a plugin, and a good idea too. Alas I’ll have to wait until he’s released it.
BTW: I think this is the plug-in both Rev VooDoo and emsi are referring to.
Rev Voodoo: I’m still configuring WP and was wanting to have users create posts, and display the entire post in a compact form on a page, like the one in this Forum. I’ve tried selecting a category page where the posts are all assigned the same category (i.e.: ‘forumChat’), yet this delivers the posts in an abbreviated excerpt format, truncating the posts and putting large “Titles” atop each post. My Theme is TwentyTen v1.1, if that makes a difference.
