Testing the "Show Full Post" button

So here’s an example of a typical Show Full Post failure.

Show Full Post is very insistent on signing up people to the newsletter.


I like how the Onebox of the actual article page gives a little video preview. Very slick.

And this is what Reader view on Firefox on Windows looks like.


Now here’s an interesting case.

The intro paragraph to this post shows up on the BBS even without clicking Show Full Post. Perhaps that’s because it’s a featured article and not a regular blog post?


Either way, Show Full Post pulls in all the images, but not the video.

Interestingly, the Onebox of the article grabs the header image that Show Full Post ignored.

In fact, Reader view didn’t bother to show any images at all, and it skipped the intro paragraph that the BBS showed.


And another oddball example:

Show Full Post gets us this:


Which is a weird combination of what the Reader view sees:

Plus this random comment from about halfway down the BBS thread:

Because, as it turns out, there are five comments from the BBS thread embedded into the BB article, but not displayed.


Okay, one last one. This is a typical Show Full Post malfunction
