Lack of interest Option for no snippet on expanded articles

[alternadiv]

Setting snippet length to 0 displays the entire content, which is fine. But why not also have an option to not have a snippet at all? Without editing templates, you can kind of do it by setting the snippet length to 1 (screenshot), but to make it look proper, you'd need a little CSS.

You choose "Standard" view to show titles only. Zero snippet is not "expanded" by definition alone.

Good point, I should've been more specific.

Standard view has the cover images and the grid layout. Expanded view without a snippet looks like my screenshot, which standard view doesn't offer without CSS. But yes, zero snippet is not "expanded" by definition alone - oops.

Edit: I'm confused again. I'm tired. Still, though - standard view is something different than my screenshot.

Standard looks like a forum listing of titles and last post data but when you are in the thread you have the article display.

What you have above is a lot of white space so imo Standard is better. Not sure XF will offer 0 snippet but worth a shot, as you suggested.

Ideally, the implementation would look like this. Maybe even drop the stuff after the horizontal line.
