Persistent Formatting Problem

I have a persistent formatting issue that I would like to resolve.

HTML text is imported into a story using mailhandler. Examination of the text reveals that it is correctly formatted. As below:

<div><font face="Arial" size="-1">At a White House press conference
this morning, the President was asked by Bill Sammon a reporter from
the Washington Examiner about Plan B and his new FDA commissioner who
supports its over the counter status.&nbsp; &quot;Mr. President, some
pro-life groups are worried that your choice of FDA Commissioner will
approve over the counter sales of Plan B, a pill that, they say,
essentially can cause early-term abortions,&quot; said the reporter.&nbsp;
&quot;Do you stand by this choice, and how do you feel about Plan B in
general?&quot;</font><br>
</div>

The text displayed always shows a shortened first line of the paragraph, followed by a non-wrapped remainder of the paragraph. Input format is set to full HTML.

My highest preference would be to have the full paragraph flow or wrap without any artificial line breaks.

gmap/node caption cleanliness

Good afternoon, everyone,
I'm trying to clean up the captions in the node map, perhaps showing only the headline and user picture.

An example of what I'm working with is here:

Is this declared somewhere in a tpl.php file? Also, any feedback on the site will be appreciated. I'm quite pleased with what I have so far!

Problem installing any modules

Ok, I posted in the installation forum, but I think this may be better suited here since drupal itself is installed and appears to be working fine.

I can't seem to install any modules. Some will seem to install, but the database tables are not being created automatically. Some have appeared to install, but when I try to use them, I get some strange errors.

I noticed that I need the views module installed to get some of these modules to work, and I didn't do that yet. So that is the one I am picking as a test bed for some help... Keep in mind, I have tried Gallery, Categories, Events, and Flexinode, all without any success. Database tables are never created. For events, I stipped out the code in the .Install file and did it that way, but still got an error when trying to use it (I think cause Views isn't installed)...

I am on a CPanel X host, if that makes a difference.

I have the views-4.7 tar.gz in the modules folder, and I use the cpanel file manager to extract.

I then go to the modules page in Drupal.

I check the 4 views modules and click save.

I get this error at the top:
user error: Table 'bwshutt_drupal.view_view' doesn't exist
query: SELECT * FROM view_view WHERE page = 1 in /home/bwshutt/public_html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

I check the database using phpMyAdmin and the tables do not exist. The user account does have ALL privs on that database. I can use that user account in phpMyAdmin to create tables.

Turn off home page shortening of content?

Is there a way to not have content published to the home page be shortened, requiring users to click on the content title to see the whole page/article/book page?

If not, is there a way to add a "read more" link at the bottom of each summary?

Reverse Forum Comment order

Hi all,
I have a client that wishes to have the forums displayed in reverse order. I can get the posts to do so with the setting in admin->comment->settings, but the original Comment is still at the top of the topics. They want to move that to the bottom, but I am having a heck of a time finding out where to change this. I have been looking through the code trying to find where it is governed, but with no luck.

Anyone have any pointers?

Thanks.

Automatically Adding to category outline with specific nodetypes

Hello all.

I have a nodetype which I always want in the category outline, so I was wondering if there was a way to make it so that nodetype is automatically added instead of always having to click the category tab and then add the outline. Ideally this would also add the outline with the proper parents by default.
