OK what happens when you click on "read more..." - you get the full text ... but what happens when you click "comments?" or "3 comments" - THE SAME
so why do we have 2 buttons here ?
I find it very annoying because ... when I am surfing through the new - I first open all interesting things in Tabs, then going through all of them reading ...
just as anyone does with everything in normal life .. you never go for every single peace .. you take as much as you can or you want to be the most efficent way ...

now when I open news its fine ... but from time to time I am interested in the comments of articles ... so I open read more but it does not jump to the read more section, so in most cases I just close the tab without reading the comments because I do not remember that I opened this tab for reading comments not reading news ...
but also for normal browsing its quite annoying to scroll down any time ... even more because there is a button for this ...

now this is really easy to implement ...

1. check the source of the news viewer ... so modules.php
