There seems to be some quirkiness with regard to post formats .. I tested a bunch of combinations yesterday after we finally got the scheduling up and running cleanly and am finding it difficult to get the standard post format to work with full posts. Each time I try to use the post format, I get only an excerpt (no matter what I specify in the settings for that area). Oddly, I do get a full normal looking post using the "link" format. (I thought I posted this yesterday but cannot see that post on the old thread)
I found a couple WPMU blog posts relating to post formats but the behavior of the plugin doesn't seem to align with what seemed to be pretty clear descriptions of what is a fairly commonly misunderstood new Wordpress feature.
Some clarification and documentation of these settings would be helpful to prevent having to go through and test each combination to find one that formats correctly (I'd love to see examples of each post format in the docs)
thanks,
Jim

Greetings Jim,
Thank you for your valuable feedback which is truly appreciated and will be taken into consideration I am sure.
I will let my Boss know about your suggestion and put the ball into his court for possibly implementing explicit documentation of these settings and examples of posts as you have suggested.
Thank you for being a WPMU Dev Member!
Cheers, Joe

Yeah, this is an odd one. I've asked the developer for his feedback on post formats as they shouldn't be interfering with this if at all possible.
Thanks for reporting this!

Hi @jimesten
Just quickly checking in to let you know we haven't forgotten about you. I believe you're still waiting for the Developer's input, so I will go ahead and alert him again.
Really sorry for this delay. Hope to have some feedback for you at the earliest.
Have a good day!

I see no one has asked you for a screenshot of your feed settings and the feed url yet so we can test - if you could pop those up then I can have a play here and see what I can find out.

Thanks @Barry for your assistance and sorry for not thinking of the settings screenshots. Will be sure to ask for that in the future.
Have a great day!

Sorry, I was out for a full week in jury duty. I will get this onto the front burner as soon as possible. We had some issues with the Networks plugin but now are forging ahead again so I should be able to circle back to this issue.
thanks,
