First of all i just wanna let Moses know that this is a one of a kind theme. It's really great. However it seems there might be an issue (or not). I'm talking about the mzine layout. It seems like the "Read More" button appears to all the posts that DON'T have anything in the "Optional Excerpt" field. As soon as you write a brief summary in the native excerpt field the "Read More" button disappears from the bottom the excerpt which corresponds to that certain post on the homepage. The "Read More" button should show even if you have an optional excerpt. I think the problem is in the functions.php on line 120, but that's just a guess. If anyone knows where's the problem, please drop a comment. Cheers. Hello all. First of all i just wanna let Moses know that this is a one of a kind theme. It’s really great.

"Featured" post don't show at the top. $tn_mz_featured_post_status seems to not be "yes", although $tn_featured_articles_cat does contain the category I want featured... looks like a problem in mzine.php - I see references to something but there's no code showing up anywhere. Great theme, Moses!

Thanks for the great theme. We have been tweaking it for a month or so to use it for the home page for our community news and info site. The themes behavior has been really stellar. If you wanted to take a peek at it, it's at the link above. We are running into this one problem that we were wondering if you might be able to shed some light on: The code for the trackbacks and pingbacks is showing up in the comments section. This page is a good example (we have since turned off comments so that it doesn't get worse) http://www.channelbv.net/2008/02/07/welcome-to-the-conversation/#comments I compared the page source to your demo site and found that the code that is showing up gets put into the page's html on our site and not on yours.
