"Full Story"?? Developer Diary

Hmmm.. Looks like I am cribbing and cribbing about the UI for some time now. Maybe this is the last.

When one goes to a listing of a section or front page, the "Intro" of each story is listed with a link "Full Story". This has created some confusion in me. Now does the "Full Story" mean that I have the story has more meat in the 'Extended" section or that this is all that is to the story, but there might be comments.

This is very evident in "Diaries" because a lot of people tend to write their diary in the "Intro" alone. I have often clicked in the "Full Story" section assuming that there might be more meat in the "Extended" portion, but alas, all I get is the same "Intro" section with maybe some comments.

What is suggest is this:
  • If a post (Diary or any section) contains only Intro section, then it be written ">>To Comments" if there are any comments. If no comments, then not even that.
  • If a post contains Intro and Extended portion, then ">>Full Story" be used.
